This Week in Tech – FLOSS Interview

Randal Schwartz and Leo Laporte recently interviewed me for their FLOSS (free/libre/open source software) Weekly program, which is part of TWIT (this week in tech). It was a real thrill to spend some time with these industry luminaries. You can listen to the interview here.

We discuss my book, as well as other trends in the open source community.

Interesting article about the Mozilla Foundation

The NY Times had an interesting article in today’s business section talking about the challenges Mozilla faces against the deep pocketed Google and Microsoft. Mozilla is really an amazing open source success story, and its really because of the large community of users who chip into help (coding, testing, writing extensions etc).

Articles & Interviews

JavaLobby conducted an interview with me regarding the book. I thought they posed some excellent questions.

Within the next week or so, I am going to try and update my source code to reflect all the recent updates in the various packages the book covers. New versions of jBPM and Drools have been released, and a small Update to Tuscany. I will keep the existing source project in tact so that it will be consistent with the book, and create a new project with the updated libraries.
