schestowitzThat was kind of incoherent and rambling. It was poorly written.Jun 14 19:13
schestowitzThere are real reasons to keep an eye on Apple and MS to make sure that they aren't abusing the Open Source community for marketing purposes. They are large companies that, should they see an advantage in doing so, they would not hesitate. This doesn't really help.Jun 14 19:13
schestowitzThat being said...The "Open Source .Net" that they refer to in the article is actually a commerce platform from a third party that says it "takes advantage of open source Asp.net". Is that really so wrong? Asp.net has been open source for several years now. .Net core design meetings are available as streamed video if you want to join in and the license is MIT.Jun 14 19:13
schestowitzAlso, articles that quote Stephen Vaughn-Nichols are like articles that quote FOX or ZeroHedge. I'm just automatically suspicious. Oddly, they quote him on this "open washing" but he doesn't seem to have problems with large companies publicizing the use of OpenStack or partnering with Canonical or any number of PR style things.

schestowitzThe term "developer applause" cited in a few links from the article, which the article claims is "bizarre" to use, in fact refers to literal applause - by the audience at WWDC, consisting largely of developers (fans of Apple already - not representatives of open source, whatever that means). The wording in the first two of those links (which are the exact same text on two different websites) makes this pretty clear.Jun 14 19:14

schestowitzApple is not an open company (by a long stretch) but they do make serious contributions to open software in many areas. Webkit, LLVM and related tools are particularly notable. In the case of other software they make fairly perfunctory source dumps.Jun 14 19:14
schestowitzThe link between LLVM, Chris Lattner and Swift is especially promising for how Swift will be opened up so I'm optimistic that it will be done seriously and properly. And I have previously predicted that it would be opened up at some point so the announcement this week was not surprising although it was still very good news.Jun 14 19:14
schestowitzI am an iOS developer and I really like Swift. One of the direct benefits of it being opened in this way will be the opportunity to use it on Linux so that it can be easily deployed as server side code. Actually getting to see how it works, potentially tinker (although I don't expect to do much) potentially use it in education contexts where the requirement for a Mac is a blocker are secondary benefits personally although maybe bigger Jun 14 19:14

r_schestowitzDo you know someone who can translate this? Wanting to pin this for google/googling in English...Jun 15 21:30
r_schestowitzI think that mifinfo/disinfo and PR are rapidly being outweighed in the media when someone searches for information on the EPO scandals. We need to keep this momentum. That's how I helped finish Novell, after thousands of articles (2006-2010). They became distrusted and widely ridiculed for their corporate behaviour, especially among their rich clients (their lifeline).Jun 15 21:30
r_schestowitzThe more one writes about it, the less afraid people are to join the critics (they feel safer in the crowd) and ultimately the reign of terror (against free speech) proves ineffective and entities implode. The media sure isn't afraid to criticise the EPO now; the same goes for politicians. The public follows their lead. Blogs can provide information to journalists while they do their research on the Web.Jun 15 21:30
r_schestowitzI honestly don't know how many sources I have and who they are, but whatever they do, it helps them achieve what they want. Mr. B. and others will sooner or later have to resign, even if under pressure (though they'll never admit it, so as to save face).Jun 15 21:30
r_schestowitzAs a side note, we tripled server capacity to help withstand what's clearly DDOS attempts. Many EPO netblock IPs were getting banned. Is the I.U. based on Holland?Jun 15 21:30

schestowitzThat was kind of incoherent and rambling. It was poorly written.Jun 14 18:13
schestowitzThere are real reasons to keep an eye on Apple and MS to make sure that they aren't abusing the Open Source community for marketing purposes. They are large companies that, should they see an advantage in doing so, they would not hesitate. This doesn't really help.Jun 14 18:13
schestowitzThat being said...The "Open Source .Net" that they refer to in the article is actually a commerce platform from a third party that says it "takes advantage of open source Asp.net". Is that really so wrong? Asp.net has been open source for several years now. .Net core design meetings are available as streamed video if you want to join in and the license is MIT.Jun 14 18:13
schestowitzAlso, articles that quote Stephen Vaughn-Nichols are like articles that quote FOX or ZeroHedge. I'm just automatically suspicious. Oddly, they quote him on this "open washing" but he doesn't seem to have problems with large companies publicizing the use of OpenStack or partnering with Canonical or any number of PR style things.

schestowitzThe term "developer applause" cited in a few links from the article, which the article claims is "bizarre" to use, in fact refers to literal applause - by the audience at WWDC, consisting largely of developers (fans of Apple already - not representatives of open source, whatever that means). The wording in the first two of those links (which are the exact same text on two different websites) makes this pretty clear.Jun 14 18:14

schestowitzApple is not an open company (by a long stretch) but they do make serious contributions to open software in many areas. Webkit, LLVM and related tools are particularly notable. In the case of other software they make fairly perfunctory source dumps.Jun 14 18:14
schestowitzThe link between LLVM, Chris Lattner and Swift is especially promising for how Swift will be opened up so I'm optimistic that it will be done seriously and properly. And I have previously predicted that it would be opened up at some point so the announcement this week was not surprising although it was still very good news.Jun 14 18:14
schestowitzI am an iOS developer and I really like Swift. One of the direct benefits of it being opened in this way will be the opportunity to use it on Linux so that it can be easily deployed as server side code. Actually getting to see how it works, potentially tinker (although I don't expect to do much) potentially use it in education contexts where the requirement for a Mac is a blocker are secondary benefits personally although maybe bigger Jun 14 18:14

schestowitzAn IT group clever enough to set up OwnCloud should also mandate gnu/linux use by editors. Any organization that values communications privacy should do this. Some free software advocates have avoided using corporate force but that was always self defeating, a choice of slavery is the opposite of freedom.

r_schestowitzDo you know someone who can translate this? Wanting to pin this for google/googling in English...Jun 15 20:30
r_schestowitzI think that mifinfo/disinfo and PR are rapidly being outweighed in the media when someone searches for information on the EPO scandals. We need to keep this momentum. That's how I helped finish Novell, after thousands of articles (2006-2010). They became distrusted and widely ridiculed for their corporate behaviour, especially among their rich clients (their lifeline).Jun 15 20:30
r_schestowitzThe more one writes about it, the less afraid people are to join the critics (they feel safer in the crowd) and ultimately the reign of terror (against free speech) proves ineffective and entities implode. The media sure isn't afraid to criticise the EPO now; the same goes for politicians. The public follows their lead. Blogs can provide information to journalists while they do their research on the Web.Jun 15 20:30
r_schestowitzI honestly don't know how many sources I have and who they are, but whatever they do, it helps them achieve what they want. Mr. B. and others will sooner or later have to resign, even if under pressure (though they'll never admit it, so as to save face).Jun 15 20:30
r_schestowitzAs a side note, we tripled server capacity to help withstand what's clearly DDOS attempts. Many EPO netblock IPs were getting banned. Is the I.U. based on Holland?Jun 15 20:30
