I'm preparing my talk for EclipseCon and I notice yesterday's talk was by Michael Tiemann from Red Hat. I personally love the book he was citing (see my books...

Simon, Would you please explain to me how Java qualifies as open source? http://www.newsforge.com/software/04/02/05/1920200.shtml ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Anne...
I was at EclipseCon and I enjoyed Simon's talk very much in contrast to Tiemann's talk which I found insulting. As a developer I find more open-source code...
Misquote, Anne, by a very unsympathetic writer as you can perhaps tell (me? a /suit/? Missed the whole point of the talk). What I said was there's no barrier...
I'm sure that Simon's talk was very enjoyable -- his talks always are. And I agree with you that the Java community has an incredibly rich pool of open source...
Anne, I am sure you are aware of GNU's java lib project: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/classpath.html I have not heard of Sun taking any hostile action...
David, Since the adoption of JCP 2.0, Sun now provides a much more affordable licensing model for non-profit organizations. These changes have paved the way...
... For a number of the technologies in question, Sun has both flat fee and %revenue terms available, though perhaps potential licensees don't always know...
Despite the title of the post on Slashdot , I've not issued a rebuttal to Eric Raymond's Java rant - I just conducted an interview with a PC Pro journalist....
I'm finally back home after a pretty strenuous month of travel and the blossom is out in the garden - pinks and whites of every shade on the various trees. My...
Dear Mr Nader, I respect you greatly and very much admire what you have achieved in so many places. Your principled voice has had an impact on America and on...
... I heard an interview on NPR with Nader, in which he was asked about numerous calls such as this to not run and not split the vote again. His response was...
I've read many not so flattering accounts of Nader. Please search the web and make up your own mind on this, but I don't think he is the right leader for us....
Not that I expected Nader to heed my advice (looks like the decision was already made, judging by the web site - which doesn't work in Safari by the way), but...

Amazing how many places I have actually visited in the US in the 26 years I have been going there. I need speaking engagements in the missing states to...
Not doing quite so well here - South America is a somewhere I am keen to go (eh, Bruno?) -- Posted by Simon Phipps to WebMink at 2/23/2004 12:20:16 AM...

... I attended Tiemann's talk and it wasn't anything like that. If he had said that he would have been booed off the stage since the room was filled with Java...

I've been travelling a lot again and not been in the mood to blog much, I have to admit. I wasn't too pleased by Darryl Taft's "quote" from EclipseCon (which...
The Call for Papers for Colorado Software Summit 2004 is out - papers on current non-Microsoft software expertise will be extremely welcome, and I'd love to...
Seems old friend and still-conservative-ex-IBM-VP John Patrick really likes OpenOffice.org , even if he can't bring himself to mention Sun in connection with...
