Can programming language names be trademarks?

OpenSource.com - Tue, 08/31/2010 - 21:23

Can–or should–a programming language name be a trademark? The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the administrative board within the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that adjudicates whether trademarks can be registered, recently decided that the word “Lua” was not a generic name for a programming language, but rather that the term referred to a particular proprietary language. Is it right though, that someone is allowed to exercise proprietary rights over a programming language name?

The democratization of comics

OpenSource.com - Tue, 08/31/2010 - 18:11

While the print comics industry has been slowly shriveling, an interesting new world of comics has emerged on the Internet. Known as webcomics, these new comics range from those professionally illustrated to those, well, not. Whether geek-inspired, or erotica (I'll let you Google that one), webcomics give us an idea of what an industry looks like when its content becomes democratized.

It's not all good, but it's not all bad, either.

Darwin meets Dilbert: Applying the Law of Two Feet to your next meeting

OpenSource.com - Tue, 08/31/2010 - 01:12

I came across an interesting concept recently: the Law of Two Feet. Brilliantly simple, it says any time you're in a meeting where you're not contributing nor adding value--you are encouraged to use your two feet and find a place where you can. In other words, if it's not meaningful, and you're not doing your part to make it meaningful, move on.

Our new Drupal Code of Conduct

Drupal.org - Tue, 08/31/2010 - 00:19

As our community grows, it is imperative that we preserve the things that got us here; namely, keeping Drupal a fun, welcoming, challenging, and fair place to play. The new Drupal Code of Conduct (DCOC) states our shared ideals with respect to conduct. Think of this as coding standards for people. It is an expression of our ideals, not a rulebook. It is a way to communicate our existing values to the entire community.

Our friends at Ubuntu have blazed a brilliant trail in this area. They use Drupal as their CMS, and in turn we have embraced their Code of Conduct. This code of conduct is essentially identical to that used by Ubuntu, except that the name of the project has been changed, and the conflict resolution process has been removed since we don't have one.

The DCOC has been under discussion for several months on groups.drupal.org and discussed further at Drupalcon Conpenhagen. Folks who are interested in talking more about the DCOC should do so in the Drupal.org Policies group.

The short version:

  1. Be considerate
  2. Be respectful
  3. When we disagree, we consult others.
  4. When we are unsure, we ask for help.
  5. Step down considerately.

Want to reinvent management? Start with the managers.

OpenSource.com - Mon, 08/30/2010 - 17:59

Maybe some day we'll look back on the role of the manager in our organizations and laugh.

Such a quaint trend. Kind of like having The Clapper in every room of your house, or wearing multiple Swatch watches, or working out to Richard Simmons videos. Each seemed really helpful at the time, but looking back, we kind of wonder what the heck we were thinking.

Designing culture: The other community plumbing

OpenSource.com - Sat, 08/28/2010 - 21:08

One of our frequent writers in the Business channel, Chris Grams, gave the keynote at DrupalCamp Boone today on "Designing culture: The other community plumbing." This post is based on that talk.

Drupal is great as a content management system. But as much as we like it, a community is not built by Drupal. It's built by people. Getting people to work together is not solved by a Drupal installation alone. You need culture--the other community plumbing.

Can culture be designed? Yes.

Give me some of that old-time, open source religion

OpenSource.com - Thu, 08/26/2010 - 15:30

We’ve accepted the obvious benefits of open source principles in business and education, law and healthcare. Openness, transparency, and knowledge-sharing helps more people prosper more quickly. We theorize that it can work in any endeavor where communal information needs to be collected, shared, and maintained. In the Life channel, we get to examine some of the less-obvious avenues where open source is found--and here is one that even surprises us a little: open source religion.

FOSS.IN/2010 Event Announcement

FOSS.in - Wed, 08/25/2010 - 19:38

ChangeTeam FOSS.IN is happy to announce FOSS.IN/2010.

This year’s edition of India’s foremost Free & Open Source Software event will be held on December 15-17, 2010, and the venue will be again the NIMHANS Convention Centre, same as last year.

There are several differences between this edition and previous ones:

Duration:

This year, the event is 3 days instead of the usual 5 days -  a 5 day event was simply too exhausting for everyone (participants and team). Also, we have moved the event into the middle of December, to give students of colleges that usually have their exams end-November or early-December a chance to attend. Our American friends will be happy to note that we have moved the event safely out of Thanksgiving range

Scope and content:

As has been made clear since last year – we are enlarging the scope of the event to include more technology. While FOSS is still very much the heart of the event, we are encouraging people to be more involved in technology, and get into the “hacker mindset” that has been the basis for the FOSS movement across the world, but has been more or less avoided here in India.

Note to the media: “Hacker” is a good thing – it refers to a person who pushes the technological envelope,  and extending technology beyond its known limits. What the media has been calling “hackers” is really “crackers” (criminals who break into computer systems and networks). We will have a separate note for you soon on this subject).

The content of the event will reflect the technological scope of FOSS.IN – there will be more practical hands-on, more “workouts”, more workshops, and fewer talks and tutorials. This is in line with our credo “Talks is cheap, show me the code”. More details about this will be in the Call for Participation that will be published on August 30th, and also in posts following this one.

Funding the event:

As most of you know, funding an event such as FOSS.IN is a hard problem, and to avoid the problems we ran into last year (the less said, the better), we are making some changes that were long overdue:

  1. While we are keeping the participation fee for students the same (Rs.500, or about US$11), which includes the cost of lunch and tea/coffee, we are raising the fees for individuals to Rs.1500 per head, and to Rs.5000 per head for corporate attendees (this will be acknowledged as support for the event). We know that some of you will complain about this, but we introduced the Rs.500 fee six years ago, and the Rupee just doesn’t go as far as it used to.
  2. We have to unfortunately drop the travel sponsorship for international speakers, except for very exceptional cases. As we did last year, we encourage speakers to seek travel sponsorship from their employers, user groups or other sources. We will treat this as support for the event and will acknowledge this on our website. However, no changes in accommodation and other hospitality – we will continue to cover all costs for outstation speakers – bed&breakfast, (lunch is at the venue), local travel, conference fees, etc.
  3. As usual, the event will depend on sponsorship from organisations supportive of the concept of people getting more involved in technology, and gaining a deeper understanding of it. There will be a separate note for you, but if you are keen to get the process going ASAP, please do get in touch.
Talks:

We have been steadily reducing the number of talks during FOSS.IN, because we want people to participate in workouts, but we are not eliminating talks. There will be two kinds of talks as usual – talks during the Main Sessions (ie daytime) and “hacker sessions” in the evenings and late at night. There will be one keynote every evening. More about all this in the CfP when we release it.

There are a lot of other little things that we won’t cover in this note, but be prepared, as usual, to have the time of your life.

More information will appear soon on the FOSS.IN website, and a detailed Call for Participation, Call for Volunteers and Call for Sponsorship will appear there soon.

And as usual, May The Source Be With You, people, and get ready to ROCK!
