The public radio station here in DC just did a show on Open Source Software yesterday that I caught a bit of on the way home. Apparently IBM is giving away 500 patents (on what I don't know) to the Open Source community, and that has caused some publicity. They also spoke of the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, which I didn't know anything about, so I looked it up on the web and here is a link:
http://conferences.oreillynet.com/os2005/ Has WorldVistA had a presence at this convention in the past? Seems like we should ask Rick to go there since I have been told that long hair seems to be the mark of a true open source hacker, and Washington is next to Oregon. ;-) On Wednesday 26 January 2005 11:44 am, Joseph Dal Molin wrote: > What is the world coming to??? > > :-) > > Joseph > > ........................................................................... >..... > > from: > http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflash/2005-01/sunflash.20050125.1.html > > Sun Announces Open Source License for Solaris Operating System > > Solaris Code to be Available Under the CDDL in Q2 2005 > > SANTA CLARA, Calif. - January 25, 2005 - Sun Microsystems, Inc.
