| schestowitz | > Summary | Sep 26 05:40 |
| schestowitz | > | Sep 26 05:40 |
| schestowitz | > This file is an edited version of the EU OSS Strategy draft with the input of Jonathan Zuck, President of the Association for Competitive Technology, an organisation that has strong ties with Microsoft[1] | Sep 26 05:40 |
| schestowitz | > | Sep 26 05:40 |
| schestowitz | > The file is a draft for an expert panel formed by the European Commission. This panel is divided into workgroup (IPR, Open Source, digital life, etc.) ACT and Comptia have been infiltrating every workgroup, even the one on Open Source (WG 7). They are doing the best they can to drown any initiative that would not only promote OSS in Europe but also that could help Europe create a sucessful European software sector. | Sep 26 05:40 |
| schestowitz | > | Sep 26 05:40 |
| schestowitz | > The audience for this document could be journalists who would be interested in getting to know more how lobbies of all kind influence the European institutions. Here it is perhaps even more stringent as ACT is clearly an US organization with ties to Microsoft. Verifications might not be easy as this is an internal draft. The best contact might be commission personnel: Lars.PEDERSEN@ec.europa.eu ; Michel.Lacroix@ec.europa.eu | Sep 26 05:40 |
| schestowitz | > | Sep 26 05:40 |
| schestowitz | > It has been leaked as it is important to have the public know how actual policy making is being influenced by lobbies that are precisely under the legal scrutiny of the European Commission. The urgency of the publication of this document is real in the sense that outside pressure would foce the Commission to "clean the committees" or at least give a lesser credit to the work of this workgroup. | Sep 26 05:40 |

| MinceR | DEC shouldn't have sold off to compaq | Sep 26 22:42 |
| MinceR | themselves, i mean | Sep 26 22:42 |
| gnufreex | DEC sold XScale to intel along with Alpha fab in Hudson. It was part of setlement. They first sued Intel and then sold them fab and XScale. Dumbest move of the 20th decade in IT industry. | Sep 26 22:44 |
| MinceR | sounds like a monumentally dumb move | Sep 26 22:46 |
| gnufreex | Intel then fired half of employees in that fab and reduced supply of Alpha. DEC seriosuly thought that their number 1 competitor will fab chips for them. | Sep 26 22:47 |

| schestowitz | gnufreex: which are the biggest threat to s/w freedom? | Sep 26 22:50 |
| schestowitz | or to computing? | Sep 26 22:51 |
| schestowitz | The thing is, I begin to realise the role of other issues like patents | Sep 26 22:51 |
| MinceR | m$ | Sep 26 22:51 |
| schestowitz | Outside s/w too | Sep 26 22:51 |
| schestowitz | Gates plays this game too | Sep 26 22:51 |
| schestowitz | GMO, drugs, etc. | Sep 26 22:51 |
| schestowitz | It's worrisome | Sep 26 22:51 |
| MinceR | (i doubt that it's wise to narrow it down to a single company though) | Sep 26 22:51 |

| schestowitz | MinceR: you can't explore everything at once | Sep 26 22:52 |
| schestowitz | Not with depth | Sep 26 22:52 |
| schestowitz | Same as in all fields of research, one is complementary to another's work | Sep 26 22:52 |
| gnufreex | schestowitz: I think MS, Apple. They are 100% enemies. Oralce and IBM are playing double game. There are bunch of smaller propriatary software companies who are as rabid against free software as microsoft. They are big problem colectiviley | Sep 26 22:52 |
| MinceR | a small set is possible though, isn't it? | Sep 26 22:52 |

| gnufreex | schestowitz: HP and Dell do what microsoft says. Taiwan OEMs like Asus, Acer and MSI are even more so. | Sep 26 22:55 |
| gnufreex | I think right now, everybody is out to get us. | Sep 26 22:55 |
| schestowitz | Yes, they have to | Sep 26 22:55 |
| schestowitz | Watch what they did to Hurd | Sep 26 22:55 |
| schestowitz | Let's see who replaces him | Sep 26 22:55 |
| schestowitz | Already the Turd 7 is back to SLate | Sep 26 22:56 |
| schestowitz | And it seems like HP has some former Microsoft staff | Sep 26 22:56 |
| schestowitz | WHen you see what happened in Nokia's it's reasonable to be a sceptic | Sep 26 22:56 |

| gnufreex | Mark Hurd was just into bussines, and he made his moves free spfware releated moves because of that. But Microsoft doesn't alow their subsidaries to have bussiness of their own. They want peop | Sep 26 23:00 |
| gnufreex | ... people to lose money in the name of Microsoft jihad. | Sep 26 23:00 |
| gnufreex | They want religious devotion. | Sep 26 23:00 |
| schestowitz | Always been the case | Sep 26 23:01 |
| schestowitz | Hewlett-Packard Chief Executive Mark Hurd: "Steve [Ballmer], I'm sure you're aware of this. Our call lines are being overrun. [by Vista complaints]" | Sep 26 23:01 |
| gnufreex | So they framed Hurd for microsoft harassment. | Sep 26 23:01 |
| schestowitz | Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP's Personal System Group: "I am going to continue to elevate these issues, our customers and HP's reputation is getting hurt by poor execution and we need more aggressive action on your part." | Sep 26 23:01 |
| gnufreex | I mean, sexual harasment. | Sep 26 23:01 |
| gnufreex | He sure fucked Microsoft. | Sep 26 23:01 |
| schestowitz | Gateway Computer Chairman Ted Waitt: "Microsoft allowed us to [remove Internet Explorer from Windows] but we don't think we should have to ask permission every time we want to make some minor software modification. Windows is an operating system, not a religion." | Sep 26 23:02 |
| schestowitz | gnufreex: watch Microsoft's SEC filing | Sep 26 23:02 |
| schestowitz | HP | Sep 26 23:02 |
| schestowitz | It's name there | Sep 26 23:02 |
| schestowitz | As threat | Sep 26 23:02 |
| schestowitz | Intel also | Sep 26 23:02 |
| schestowitz | Cause they worked on Linux distros | Sep 26 23:02 |
| gnufreex | schestowitz: I know. | Sep 26 23:02 |
| schestowitz | Intel is now Nokia... more MeeGo than Moblin | Sep 26 23:03 |
| schestowitz | Mostly Maemo in the wild | Sep 26 23:03 |
| schestowitz | Ballmer was so happy about Elop leaving, it seems | Sep 26 23:03 |
| schestowitz | He left... maybe on a mission | Sep 26 23:03 |
| schestowitz | Ballmer said he looked forward to working with him in Nokia | Sep 26 23:03 |
| gnufreex | Yeah, he send him public goodbye note. | Sep 26 23:03 |
| schestowitz | It has been just one week | Sep 26 23:03 |
| schestowitz | He started around the 17th or 19th IIRC | Sep 26 23:03 |
| schestowitz | Already | Sep 26 23:04 |
| gnufreex | It looks just like he left on a mission. | Sep 26 23:04 |
| schestowitz | Looking into Vista Phone 7 | Sep 26 23:04 |
| schestowitz | [23:03] <gnufreex> Yeah, he send him public goodbye note. | Sep 26 23:04 |
| schestowitz | "Bon Voyage" | Sep 26 23:04 |
| schestowitz | "Have a nice trip" | Sep 26 23:04 |
| schestowitz | Nokia doesn't mind | Sep 26 23:04 |
| schestowitz | The stock rose | Sep 26 23:04 |
| schestowitz | They wanted change, so SteveB delivered | Sep 26 23:05 |
| gnufreex | I fear what he will do with Qt | Sep 26 23:05 |
| gnufreex | It is LGPLv2/v3 | Sep 26 23:05 |
| gnufreex | He might nix v3 | Sep 26 23:05 |
| gnufreex | to prove a point | Sep 26 23:05 |
| gnufreex | Or he might put it under ClearBSD and start charging patent royalties | Sep 26 23:06 |
| gnufreex | And say cinicaly "open source doesn't meen free. We have patents" | Sep 26 23:07 |
