HP Open Source Initiatives: FOSSology and FOSSBazaar

Friday, January 25th, 2008

FOSSBazaar LogoFOSSBazaar is a work group of the Linux Foundation, maintaining a community platform for experts and enterprises aiming at education. It’s focus is on governance best practices, automation tools, and open communication to accelerate adoption of free and software in the enterprise. Specifically, FOSSBazaar aims to:

  • Expand upon the value proposition for a richer, safer, less expensive, and better overall IT experience.
  • Focus on timely issues such as license management and support as software matures and becomes adopted more widely in IT environments.

FOSSology LogoFOSSology are tools around what the name says “the study of free and software”. Conceptually, I understand you load any FOSS into the application/repository, have it analyzed and the results filled into the FOSSology database and then you get some web output on governance relevant findings.

Both FOSSBazaar and FOSSology are spearheaded by HP and include several industry leaders in service providers and projects.

New Optaros Website

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Optaros LogoWe’ve engaged in the discussion from the very early days and our understanding of how UGC, social and RIA should be leveraged for businesses is today manifested in our Enterprise 2.0 practice. Our website however was not reflecting our expertize properly and in fact we struggled for a while with what the corporate voice should be, what role Marketing should play, how much control should be maintained on the content, what expectations are for navigation and numerous other questions around the next generation corporate website

With the new optaros.com website we have started a living experiment to determine what a corporate website should be for a professional services firm in a world.

See Marc’s blogpost on What is a Web 2.0 Corporate Website? for the thoughts behind our new drupal site.
