Sunday January 29, 2006 Dick and Ron in line for a Jolt?
This just in: Ron Goldman tells me the book he and Richard Gabriel wrote has been shortlisted for a Jolt Award. The book, Innovation Happens Elsewhere, is a textbook for commercial software developers who want to go open source, and the authors have been instrumental in the introduction of open source methods throughout Sun over the last decade.
Huge congratulations to them both on the recognition - I hope they win when the actual awards are announced on March 15.

Red Herring profiles the Eclipse project. I'm quoted in connection with NetBeans and I stand by that position; what is the sense of paying a vast sum ($250,000) to join an organisation that doesn't make any software we use?

Open Media Commons Workshop
I notice that the Open Media Commons (the initiative to create open and open source DRM) has announced a workshop in California on March 15-16. Looks worth investigating and registering early - and they are inviting presentation proposals too.
