NAVY R&D PROJECT LOOKS TO OPEN-SOURCE USE
Open Source Software Institute (OSSI) unveils a three-year CRADA program. The program will explore the use of open-source software within the Naval Oceanographic Office's Web services for scientific computing and enterprise architecture systems.
OPEN WIDE: LINUX'S APPEAL GROWS AS APPLICATIONS FLOURISH
Open-source operating systems will not spread unless users have applications to run. As Linux matures and customers more seriously consider adopting it and its cousins, developers are constructing programs that increase the operating system's appeal. This snowball effect is contributing to the rising profile of open standards.
OPENING DOORS TO OPEN SOURCE
Los Angeles city officials recently pushed for a switch to open-source software so that they could save more than $5 million in licensing fees. They felt the money could be better used for other services. In making the switch, they joined a growing chorus of support for open-source technology from cash-strapped federal, state and local government agencies. Join us for a free half-day event featuring noted industry analyst Philip Russom from Forrester Research and industry experts from IBM and Red Hat.
GET READY: THE RED HAT SUMMIT WILL SET YOUR BRAIN ON FIRE
