What’s in a name in open source?

By Mårten Mickos on October 16, 2014

What does community mean to you?
Community is an overloaded word, it can mean anything. Community can mean just people who use your product. Or maybe it’s those who build your product, or maybe it’s the business partners who are using it. Or maybe it’s…

Chartio Supporting Salesforce–Pretty for the Enterprise

Chartio Supporting Salesforce–Pretty for the Enterprise

By Ben Kepes on February 25, 2013

Two themes I often talk about are specific functionality from specialist vendors and delivering enterprise solutions in new and friendly ways. A good example of this I came across recently was from small company Chartio. Chartio, a Y Combinator company, touts itself as the best interface for data. Essentially it allows organizations to take data […]

What really is Open Source Software and what’s this community nonsense they ask…

By Adron Hall on September 21, 2012

Open Source Software (OSS), Why Some Fail At It OSS has won the war. It has been over for years now. Microsoft has ceded, Oracle, VMware and many others have stepped up and attempted to embrace the open source community. Sometimes they’ve been successful, sometimes they haven’t. They’re slowly changing their models to play well […]

Internal Email on Why a  Software Company Migrates Away from MySQL

Internal Email on Why a Software Company Migrates Away from MySQL

By Zoli Erdos on November 4, 2010

Twitter is abuzz this morning with MySQL news: What these messages refer to is that Oracle dropped InnoDB from the free Classic Edition, it is now only available starting with the $2,000 Standard Edition.  A few days ago we heard support prices were increased – none of this should come as a surprise, the writing […]

Challenging Stonebraker’s Assertions On Data Warehouses – Part 1

By Chirag Mehta on October 28, 2010

I have tremendous respect for Michael Stonebraker. He is an apt visionary. What I like the most about him is his drive and passion to commercialize the academic concepts. ACM recently published his article “My Top 10 Assertions About Data Warehouses….

Why the “NoSQL” moniker is useful - for now

Why the “NoSQL” moniker is useful – for now

By Guest Authors on March 29, 2010

There’s been a lot of crowing as of late from folks that wish the whole NoSQL “movement” (where “NoSQL” means “not only SQL” – but gets misinterpreted a LOT) had been named something else.

MySQL, Oracle And Cloud Computing

By Krishnan Subramanian on January 5, 2010

Image via CrunchBase Ever since Oracle announced the acquisition of Sun Microsystems along with MySQL, all hell broke loose in the open source community.

Debunking the Debunkers: Open Source Myths

Debunking the Debunkers: Open Source Myths

By Mark Fidelman on December 28, 2009

All societies and businesses that have survived longer than a few decades have created folklore, stories, and myths.  As the culture evolves, these myths tend to get embellished and enlarged.  So it is with Open Source.  I read a recent New York Times article about open source to be full of errors, perpetuated myths, and […]
