Changes at Techrights
Summary: A few short notes on how we are going to re-align the site with disruptive trends, notably patents-related
ONCE in a few years, as longtime readers probably know by now, we take the time to write a post or two about strategic changes. Once upon a time we focused a great deal on Novell, about which we wrote literally thousands of posts. Novell is no more. It’s not functioning anymore. Later on Microsoft started to increase its patent attacks on GNU/Linux and then on Android, whereupon we turned our attention to Microsoft and then we wrote about patents, for reasons we repeatedly explained. Patents are one of the subjects that we are unique at tackling. Groklaw used to do that too, but the site has been inactive for years.
“Once upon a time we focused a great deal on Novell, about which we wrote literally thousands of posts.”In order to make better use of time and focus on topics that matter and are relevant to the field of interest, we are going to change priorities and better align our strategy with current strands, such as the EPO, the UPC, and software patents in general (in various parts of the world). To make room, time, capacity etc. for this we are going to post less political stuff and less news pertaining to international affairs (mostly in daily links these days, having taken up dozens of hours of research every month). If anyone among our readers opposes such changes, we would be glad to hear and reconsider accordingly. █

Can you change your focus from immature uses of phrases like “Vista 10″ and silly, unsupported lies you try to back by linking to your own site with a focus on honesty and integrity?

Keep doing what you’re doing and ignore the MS trolls. Thanks!

In fact, i actually like the term “vista 10″. It gives perspective, it’s also short… i’ll say it’s elegant.

I prefer honesty… but he is preaching to a cult-like group of people who feel it is appropriate to lie about Linux and the competition to try to make Linux look better.
