Canonical's new partnerships for Ubuntu: A challenge in the enterprise space? | TechRep... - 1 views

  •  
    Good article that tries to explain how Canonical is changing direction, and what that will mean for Linux.  The explanation looks at a brief list of Canonical partnerships that the author believes are key to the new direction.  Interesting stuff, but you have to follow the partnership links to grasp the impact :(

    What has happened to Diigo? Where are the lists and groups in the Chrome extension dialog? One thing i would note is that i have been using the Sharaholic Chrome extension for Diigo. Much more stable than the Diigo Chrome ext. And yes, i do get flame throwing furious when the Diigo ext dialog cuts off my comments or locks up and i lose everything. Sharaholic opens up a new page, which i can unclip from Chrome, move to the half of my dual screen system, and use to comment on an article line by line. Yes, i do miss the Diigo highlighting and in-line comments at times. But stability and consistent behavior matters. If i need to highlight, i'll pull the Diigo ext.

    I tracked the WaveMaker link and foud that they have been acquired by VMware, and will join the SpringSource - Spring Framework for Java division. Interesting stuff. Rod Johnson has a new toy! (http://bit.ly/t9bX2m) Also, i noticed that VMware has decided to open source WaveMaker entirely - available for free. This is interesting in the context of changes at Ubuntu. Perhaps WaveMaker is a Java IDE challenge to QT's dominance on Linux? QT is owned by Nokia. And Nokia has slid under the boot heel of Microsoft and the Windows 8 platform of cloud-desktop-mobile. WaveMaker Springs To VMware http://bit.ly/s80t8n Perhaps more interesting is that Canonical Ubuntu would be supporting the VMware Cloud Application Platform. http://bit.ly/suN5ic Looks like VMware is very serious about a sweeping and comprehensive Cloud Productivity Platform. Neither Amazon or RackSpace have developer tools wired in like VMWare. Google Cloud has core Apps that can't be beat. FaceBook just purchased Strobe, but that focus is on mobility app developers - not business systems developers.

Google Open Source Blog: Bidding farewell to Google Code - 0 views

  • Beginning today, we have disabled new project creation on Google Code. We will be shutting down the service about 10 months from now on January 25th, 2016. Below, we provide links to migration tools designed to help you move your projects off of Google Code. We will also make ourselves available over the next three months to those projects that need help migrating from Google Code to other hosts. March 12, 2015 - New project creation disabled. August 24, 2015 - The site goes read-only. You can still checkout/view project source, issues, and wikis. January 25, 2016 - The project hosting service is closed. You will be able to download a tarball of project source, issues, and wikis. These tarballs will be available throughout the rest of 2016. Google will continue to provide Git and Gerrit hosting for certain projects like Android and Chrome. We will also continue maintaining our mirrors of projects like Eclipse, kernel.org and others.
