I watched with my usual fascination as the news cycle built to a shrill crescendo last week when both Novell and Red Hat each made a point of announcing that they were not planning to put a lot of effort into developing a desktop for the consumer model.

Whither the Linux Foundation?
http://www.itwire.com –
We live in the age of the spinmeister, the age when language is used more as a means to confuse than to educate, an age when obfuscation is preferred to clarification. Hence, one should not be surprised to find Jim Zemlin, the head of the Linux Foundation, referring to a face-to-face meeting of kernel developers and industry people as a "high bandwidth set of interactions."

http://www.crn.com –
Custom system builders are among the specialists able to embrace open source as a new prospect for success.

http://boycottnovell.com –
Yesterday we wrote about ugly denials by Microsoft and even ISO — denials that shortly afterwards turned out to be bald-faced lies. It new reports are correct, this appears to have also been the case elsewhere, further away from the sight of the western world.

Funny Microsoft Business in UK Public Sector Just Got Funnier
http://boycottnovell.com –
You might still recall a post from the other day which deals with corruption in procurement. It focused on the British public sector. “Corruption,” you say? That’s how it seems anyway. Newham now rebuts, but the rebuttal doesn’t seem to lend much credibiily

CEDET in Emacs
http://lists.gnu.org –
"Hi, I would be happy to see CEDET in Emacs. It has always been a goal of mine, but I also know my long-term vision for CEDET does not always map onto what others want to see, and picking out only the tasty bits of CEDET may be hard without using the entire thing. Here is the good news..."

Ehh? Folks don't usually go out of their way to tell you what their product WON'T run on, do they? I suspect some hard feelings here, maybe somone who has been mishandled by a few Linux or Mac Fanboys?

Media collection software in GNU/Linux
http://polishlinux.org –
Around three years ago, when I began my adventure with ‘the penguin’, I had been looking for an application to catalog CDs. They were either ugly, or limited in functionality, or simply couldn’t handle all disk types (e.g. DVD)… some other apps were required for installation, and/or involved many “weird” libraries (which I didn’t know what to do about).

No Remedy Expected for Intellectual Monopolies in the US, Yet
http://boycottnovell.com –
The so-called reform, which was proposed as an Easy Fix™ to be applied to the USPTO, has always been rather impotent. It kept the problems in tact where intellectual monopolies could benefit and perhaps harmed some of the smaller players, including the patent trolls
