[plain]Adopt, adapt, create…three short words to sum up open source in 2012. Think Tank 2012 was again a great event; perspectives on OSS have certainly changed and the audience’s background clearly showed that. In this year’s Think Tank, there were fewer lawyers than in previous sessions I’ve attended. The focus wasn’t on using/not using GPL, but rather on using permissive licenses, along the lines of Apache, and really not stressing over what license to use. As one speaker said “[/plain][plain]license type? don’t worry about it…don’t spend all of your valuable time pondering on what type to use…it’ll be OK…[/plain][plain]”[/plain]... read more

Open at Adobe

[plain]Well, the Seventh[/plain][[plain] Open Source Think Tank (OSTT)[/plain]](http://www.cvent.com/events/open-source-think-tank-napa-2012/event-summary-2eb8425a5fab44a794859f36a83f39f8.aspx)[plain] is in the books. And as usual, it was challenging, thought provoking and admittedly tiring.  Thinking intensely for days is hard work. Catching up with others, meeting new attendees all make for long days. So many smart people in one place&8230;[/plain]... read more

[plain]It’s almost time for the annual trek to the [/plain][[plain]California Wine Country[/plain]](http://bit.ly/GOs13s)[plain], known as the [/plain][[plain]Open Source Think Tank[/plain]](http://bit.ly/wh3qVg)[plain]. Open Source Think Tank, without a doubt, is one of the highlight events of every year for me, and one I really look forward to attending.[/plain]

[plain]Over the past few years, I’ve had a chance to attend multiple of the Think Tanks, both in the US and in Europe. And I have never come away without learning something new, gaining a deeper insight into a technology, best practice or cultural interaction. Part of this is clearly from the attendees themselves. I’ve regularly met insightful people from all reaches, business, education, finance, investment, policy. I’ve been part of deep discussions around licenses and patents, business models and community practices. Honestly, I’ve seen some interesting challenges (a polite way of disagreeing) surface but have never seen anyone melt down, which is amazingly rare at open source events. I haven&8217;t made them all but I certainly wish I had.[/plain]... read more

[[plain]Apache Flex[/plain]](http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/FlexProposal)[plain] has been voted on in the Apache Foundation incubator.  And the vote is positive.[/plain]

[plain]Apache Flex is now an officially blessed podling at [/plain][[plain]Apache[/plain]](http://apache.org)[plain].

[plain]Well, it seems the death of MeeGo is all but assured.[/plain]

[plain]Enter [/plain][[plain]Tizen[/plain]](https://www.tizen.org/)

[plain]Of interest is the programming interface model.[/plain]

[plain]From the site:[/plain]

[plain]The Tizen application programming interfaces are based on HTML5 and other web standards, and we anticipate that the vast majority of Tizen application development will be based on these emerging standards. These APIs will cover various platform capabilities, such as messaging, multimedia, camera, network, and social media. For those who use native code in their applications, the Tizen SDK will include a native development kit. We will open the entire Tizen software stack, from the core OS up through the core applications and polished user interfaces.[/plain]... read more

[plain]On so many levels, this, if true, is not good news for anyone who likes their operating environments to be open, as in open development.[/plain]... read more
