Abstract:

Don't miss the chance to meet Simon Phipps, one of the most influential persons in the FLOSS community, responsible for the open-sourcing of the JVM and Solaris.

He will be at the CCSL next Monday the 27th and will talk about "Open Source Concepts and Realities", focusing on two main themes: "Open Source Means Business Value" and "Open Source Communities".

A personal experience from the early beginnings of this art (1969/70)

Common wisdom says that science and art are entirely different beasts; moreover, a similar source of wisdom tells us that science is valuable to society while art is a luxury. Why else would schools drop art from their curricula over the past 20 years? But artists and scientists approach their work in similar if not identical ways.

There are times when a system must adapt to new requirements within months or weeks rather than years. These new requirements can include complicated rules and new products or services the organization needs to scale to support. As the system scales up and becomes more complicated it can become very hard to adapt quickly to these changing requirements. In fact, the system can even become harder to change and slower to accept new requirements. This can lead to a desired architecture that is designed to scale allowing the system to more easily adapt to changing requirements.

Conceptual integrity arises not (simply) from one mind or from a small number of agreeing resonant minds, but from sometimes hidden co-authors and the things designed themselves.
