PyPy 1.2 releasedVersion 1.2 of PyPy - an alternative implementation of the Python
interpreter - has been released.
"This version 1.2 is a major
milestone and it is the first release to ship a Just-in-Time compiler that
is known to be faster than CPython (and unladen swallow) on some real-world
applications (or the best benchmarks we could get for them). The main theme
for the 1.2 release is speed." It's still not quite ready for
production use, but it appears to be getting a lot closer.

Building an open source business (opensource.com)Over at opensource.com, OpenNMS's Tarus Balog looks at the process of starting an open source business. This article covers much of the same material as his recent SCALE 8x keynote. "You might think that I was motivated by some sort of idealistic love of open source software. Nothing could be further from the truth. At the time, I was still running a Windows desktop. I undertook the OpenNMS project because I believed one thing: in the area of network management, open source represents the best business solution."

Fedora's "stable release updates vision"The Fedora board has, in response to ongoing discussions about updates to
its releases (as covered in the
March 11 Weekly Edition), adopted a
"vision statement" on how Fedora releases should be maintained.
"Stable releases should provide a consistent user experience
throughout the lifecycle, and only fix bugs and security issues. Stable
releases should not be used for tracking upstream version closely when this
is likely to change the user experience beyond fixing bugs and security
issues."

Google's RE2 regular expression libraryGoogle has announced
the release of its RE2 library under a BSDish license. "At Google,
we use regular expressions as part of the interface to many external and
internal systems, including Code Search, Sawzall, and Bigtable. Those
systems process large amounts of data; exponential run time would be a
serious problem. On a more practical note, these are multithreaded C++
programs with fixed-size stacks: the unbounded stack usage in typical
regular expression implementations leads to stack overflows and server
crashes. To solve both problems, we've built a new regular expression
engine, called RE2, which is based on automata theory and guarantees that
searches complete in linear time with respect to the size of the input and
in a fixed amount of stack space." More information can be found on
the RE2 project page.

Simon Phipps elected as OSI director (The H)The H reports
that the Open Source Initiative (OSI) has elected Simon Phipps, formerly
Sun's Chief Open Source Officer, to the board of directors. "As a director, Phipps hopes to help the organisation change so that it becomes more member-oriented, more active in promoting open source in education, in policy development and possibly in organisational support for open source projects; "My goal as a Director will be to facilitate that change, a change that is already well under way following recent face to face discussions and the great work that Andrew Oliver and Danese Cooper have already put in"."

Linux Arpeggiators, Part 1 (Linux Journal)Dave Phillips looks
at arpeggiators for Linux. "An arpeggio is a musical technique whereby the notes of a chord are played in succession rather than all at once. The order of the chord notes in this succession may follow a strict set of rules or they may be played in purely random sequence. A device that acts upon a chord in this manner is known as an arpeggiator."

Meet Ubuntu Linux's new CEO (Q&A) (CNET)Over at CNET, Stephen Shankland has a fairly lengthy interview with Canonical's new CEO Jane Silber. "But is there more urgency about profit now?
Silber: There is a sense of great opportunity right now. When we started Ubuntu in year one, we didn't put a strong push on trying to sell Canonical services, not because we were not interested, but it's hard to build a business around selling services around an operating system that nobody is using. We knew we needed to gain a user base and momentum before we could sell services. That user base is now there. There is urgency and momentum around that at a level we hadn't necessarily seen in the first couple years."

Meanwhile, back in Utah...The SCO case has long since dropped off the radar for most. It is worth
noting, though, that the Novell "slander of title" trial is now underway in
Utah. Groklaw has detailed
coverage of the testimony thus far. "Why did Novell slander
SCO's title? Because of Linux. Linux started as a hobbyist tool. It's open
source; 'nobody can be completely sure where the code comes from'. Starting
around 2000, IBM inserted into Linux stuff that belonged to SCO. SCO sued,
and started their licensing program (SCOsource). Novell stated that SCO
doesn't have the copyrights and can't sue IBM."

Mozilla to update the MPLThe Mozilla Foundation has launched a
process to update the Mozilla Public License. The project is described
this way:
We've been using version 1.1 of the Mozilla Public License for about a decade now. Its spirit has served us well, helping to communicate some of the values that underpin our large and growing community. However, some of its wording may be showing its age. Keeping both those things in mind, we're launching this process to update the license, hoping to modernize and simplify it while still keeping the things that have made the license and the Mozilla project such a success. While the update process is inspired by the GPLv3 update, the objectives are far less ambitious: Mozilla would like to smooth various rough edges without making major changes to the license. They hope to have the process complete - after releasing three drafts for comments - by November of this year. Kategóriák: Linux
Schwartz: Good Artists Copy, Great Artists StealJonathan Schwartz writes about patent attacks, and Apple's attack on Android in particular. "Having watched this movie play out many times, suing a competitor typically makes them more relevant, not less. Developers I know arent getting less interested in Googles Android platform, theyre getting more interested - Apples actions are enhancing that interest." He also says that Microsoft tried to shake down Sun with patent claims on OpenOffice.org.

European Parliament pushes back on ACTASwedish MEP Christian Engström reports
that the European Parliament has passed a
resolution coming out against the secretive ACTA copyright treaty
negotiations and demanding transparency in the process. The vote was
rather definitive: 633 for, 13 against. "At last, the elected
representatives in the parliament have sent a strong message. We have shown
that we do not accept secrecy. We have shown that we are prepared to stand
up for a free internet open to everybody."

[$] Open source and the Morevna projectKonstatin Dmitriev's Morevna Project is to 2-D animation what the Blender Foundation's Open movie projects have been for 3-D. The goal is to produce a production-quality, full-length animated feature, using only open source software, and license the source content and final product under free, re-use-friendly terms. Along the way, the work provides stress-testing, feedback, and development help to the open source software used, while raising awareness of the quality of the code. Subscribers can click below for a look at the project from this week's edition. Kategóriák: Linux
