When sustainable fashion jumps out as a theme at ur tech conference

When sustainable fashion jumps out as a theme at ur tech conference

By James Governor on January 3, 2018

The new Patreon economy

The new Patreon economy

By James Governor on July 31, 2017

At the time I was hopeful that open source would somewhat change the contract to favour the creators […]

Voice recognition project completed at UTD

Voice recognition project completed at UTD

By Charlie Bess on May 4, 2015

Every semester I try and work with some students at UTD by facilitating a ‘capstone’ project. It’s another dimension of my support for STEM education.

Effektif BPM Goes Open Source

By Sandy Kemsley on March 18, 2015

On a call with Tom Baeyens last week, he told me about their decision to turn the engine and APIs of Effektif BPM into an open source project: not a huge surprise since he was a driver behind two major open source BPM projects prior to starting Effektif, but an interesting turn of events. When […]

It Ain’t Easy Making Money in Open Source:  Thoughts on the Hortonworks S-1

By Dave Kellogg on November 18, 2014

It took me a week or so to get to it, but in this post, I’ll take a dive into the Hortonworks S-1 filing in support of a proposed initial public offering (IPO) of their stock. While Hadoop and big data are unarguably huge trends driving the industry and while the future of Hadoop looks very bright indeed, […]

Firefox MASSIVE FAIL - frequent, incompatible upgrades and instability

Firefox MASSIVE FAIL – frequent, incompatible upgrades and instability

By Dennis Moore on August 27, 2013

For years, I have been a dedicated Firefox user.  Before Chrome, Firefox was a browser that really met my needs.  Firefox was faster and more flexible than Internet Explorer.  Firefox was innovative, supporting tabs, add-ons, standards, and multiple platforms.  Over the years, I customized my Firefox environment to meet my needs, with add-ons that made […]
