Tidbits

November 5, 2008

  • One of the underlying stories of the 2008 election victory of Barack Obama is the really intelligent use of technology, in a way that will permanently change how campaigns are run in the future.
  • Open Source Hardware: can it be done? I hope so, and I’m looking forward to see its progress.
  • There have been a number of possible “Exchange Killers.” Open-Xchange just got a bunch of $. Perhaps it’s the one?
  • The Free Software Foundation revised the GNU Free Document License (GNU FDL) to allow public Wikis to relicense their content (by August 1, 2009) to the Creative Commons By-SA 3.0. Apparently, they were asked by the Wikimedia foundation to do this. The CC By-SA is the most FDL-like of the CC licenses.
  • Firefox 3.1 adds a very cool tab preview function. Woo hoo!
