The Ubuntu project has detailed plans for the April 2009 version of its Linux distribution, continuing its habit of naming its software after animals by dubbing Ubuntu 9.04 "The Jaunty Jackalope".
HP has called on developers to pitch in and help improve the open source management tools it made available to the community last week.
Canonical, the company behind the popular Ubuntu Linux distribution, has released a content-development tool designed to move development into the Internet age.
Ubuntu Linux backer hopes its Launchpad site will help open-source projects match Microsoft's collaboration abilities.
The Open Source Initiative says that it has reorganised in an effort to bring more structure to the open-source software movement and that co-founder Eric Raymond is stepping down from his position as president.
A general rise in technical literacy driven by gadgets such as the iPod could be evidence that 'geekery' as a personality trait is becoming more pervasive.
According to Eric Raymond, every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch. But is it also the developers' interests that get served?
Recent findings suggest that open-source advocates' boastings of superior security over proprietary software were premature. Now the open-source community must conduct its own 'trustworthy' campaign.
The co-founder of the Open Source Initiative explains why the days of proprietary, centralised software development are numbered.
Linux and the open-source movement have come a long way since the foundation of the Open Source Initiative in the late 1990s but does it have the credibility it needs to succeed in the business world?
