    Gaming Buzz

    Wednesday, March 8, 2006 - 09:56 by Mike Milinkovich
    I have seen more than a few references to Tim O’Reilly ‘s post on IDE buzz . I actually thought that Tim’s post was well written and thoughtfully speculative. No one can reasonably take issue with statements like: I don’t really follow the IDE wars, but this result surprised me...

    Higgins Again

    Tuesday, February 28, 2006 - 13:02 by Mike Milinkovich
    Anyone interested in my previous comments regarding the Higgins announcement should also read Bob Sutor’s post that so eloquently lays to rest much of the hyperbole concerning this announcement.

    The Mouse that Roared

    Monday, February 27, 2006 - 20:18 by Mike Milinkovich
    No, I am not talking about one of my all-time favourite B movies . I’m talking about the Higgins announcement today. (Higgins being both a project at Eclipse and a Tasmanian long-tailed mouse.) In the press release, IBM, Novell and Parity Communications announced support for the Eclipse Higgins project. The...

    OSBC West

    Wednesday, February 15, 2006 - 15:19 by Mike Milinkovich
    This week both Donald and I are at the Open Source Business Conference ( OSBC West ). Steve O’Grady already blogged on his impressions of yesterday’s events. For those that have never been to an OSBC, it is a fairly unique show. There are basically equal numbers of lawyers, venture...

    Happy (Belated) 2nd Birthday!

    Sunday, February 12, 2006 - 20:35 by Mike Milinkovich
    Both my wife and my mother would agree that I am terrible with this stuff. I meant to post this on the date, really I did! February 2, 2004 is the date we use as the birthday for the independently governed Eclipse Foundation, as that’s the date it was officially...

    Code Keiretsu

    Thursday, February 9, 2006 - 09:52 by Mike Milinkovich
    Simon Phipps wrote an interesting blog post musing about the how the Japanese business model of interlocking companies ( keiretsu ) and the long tail intersect to describe the functionings of open source communities. Basically, the idea is that open source communities can be described as “code keiretsus around a...

    GPLv3 Update

    Wednesday, February 8, 2006 - 17:10 by Mike Milinkovich
    I thought I would mention a few early thoughts on the GPLv3 progress, and the impact it may have on the Eclipse community. (In other words, I am most emphatically not talking about the merits of the Free Software Foundation (FSF)’s proposed GPL revisions in general.) Janet Campbell from the...
