Niwatori: Lomba Desain Poster Brosur Opensource

Feb 05, 2010


tanya siapa?

FOSS-ID, sebuah badan bentukan Depkominfo untuk mendukung gerakan opensource mengadakan Lomba Desain Poster & Brosur Opensource. Tidak hanya membuat poster/brosur tentang opensource, di dalam lomba ini juga peserta diwajibkan menggunakan software desain grafis opensource yaitu Inkscape & GIMP. Tertarik untuk ikutan? Kunjungi halaman lomba untuk keterangan lebih lanjut.

Senang desain tapi belum pernah menggunakan Inkscape & GIMP? Menggunakan Inkscape & GIMP tidaklah sulit, fitur dan cara penggunaannya mirip dengan CorelDraw/Adobe Illustrator & Adobe Photoshop. Tidak melulu dijalankan di Linux, Inkscape & GIMP bisa dijalankan di Microsot Windows maupun MacOSX. Cobalah unduh installernya di http://www.gimp.org/downloads dan http://www.inkscape.org/download


Chickenstrip sendiri dibuat dengan menggunakan Inkscape & GIMP, demikian halnya juga berbagai pekerjaan desain grafis yang selama ini saya kerjakan. Intinya: mari mencoba menggunakan Inkscape & GIMP, kebetulan sambil ada lomba maka latihannya bisa sekalian dikirim? siapa tahu terpilih menjadi pemenang dan mendapat hadiah bukan?

Selamat mendesain, sampai jumpa di lomba nanti. (Bukan, saya bukan peserta. Cuma kebagian sedikit membantu para juri dan tim FOSS-ID di aspek teknis Inkscape & GIMP ^_^).
Mari berkarya dengan perangkat lunak legal dan opensource. Semangat!

A guide to The 451 Group?s open source software coverage

Jan 13, 2010

Regular visitors to the 451 CAOS Theory blog will be well aware of The 451 Group#8217;s CAOS (Commercial Adoption of Open Source) research service and our CAOS long-form reports.
They are probably less aware of the open source coverage that The 451 Group provides on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, however, and I thought it would be worthwhile to provide some examples of The 451 Group#8217;s ongoing open source coverage by highlighting a few recent reports.
The company#8217;s core services are 451 Market Insight Service, which delivers daily insight into emerging enterprise IT markets, and 451 TechDealmaker, a forward-looking weekly analysis service focused on M#038;A activity within the enterprise IT business.
Here#8217;s some examples of how our coverage fits in to those two services. Needless to say, these reports are only available to clients, although you can apply for trial access. Vendors – open source or otherwise – do not have to be clients in order to be covered by our analysts.
451 Market Insight Service
The 451#8217;s CAOS analysts – Jay and I – are responsible for much of the coverage of open source specialist vendors. Recent examples include:

Novell lessens Linux push for Intelligent Workload Management strategy

OpenLogic offers code scanning and compliance, community Linux support

DotNetNuke rides the explosion of open source on .NET for app development, WCM

Meanwhile The 451 Group#8217;s team of analysts also cover open source related vendors in their respective coverage areas, often in conjunction with CAOS analysts. For example:

Google#8217;s online channel for smartphones changes little in terms of market dynamics

JasperSoft eyes the enterprise with latest commercial open source BI suite

xTuple#8217;s open source ERP attracts more manufacturers, strikes chord with distributors

Gluster targets virtualization, unstructured data with new clustered storage platform

eZ Systems gears up for growth with new funding and new CEO

Additionally, we also provide reports assessing the strategies of proprietary/mixed source vendors towards open source. Examples include:

JetBrains has an open-source IDEA that could expand its profile

Day Software aims to become the patron saint of open source Web content management

Microsoft#8217;s new position reflects changing attitude toward open source

Putting Oracle#8217;s open source moves in perspective

SAP is learning to give and take with open source

In addition to our vendor-centric MIS output, open source also regularly makes an appearance in our reports assessing wider industry trends. For example:

Open source users voice concerns over Oracle#8217;s acquisition of MySQL

#8216;Vendor wars#8217; push challenges, opportunity to HPC and its enterprise outlook

Unpaid community Linux serving as foundation for provider and private clouds

Open source and cloud computing ? a match made in heaven?

451 TechDealmaker
451 Group analysts follow open source-related M#038;A in their coverage areas, again often working with the CAOS analsyst. Examples include:

VMware grows cloud stack, sends message with Zimbra buy

Terracotta acquires Quartz, adding job scheduling to Java-caching lineup

Pentaho snags LucidEra assets in bid to give analytics mainstream appeal

While we also provide reports assessing the prospects of potential acquirers and targets alike. For example:

EC concerns over Oracle-Sun deal center on MySQL

Will Red Hat have to buy to meet aggressive growth targets?

Further acquisitions could boost Novell#8217;s Linux business, indirectly

And again, open source makes an appearance in our reports assessing wider industry trends. For example:

Could an open source project survive a hostile acquisition?

How will recent moves by Intel and Google shake up the embedded OS space?

Opportunities for open source M#038;A in 2009

Will code scanning and analysis get large vendors shopping?

For those with an interest in M#038;A it is also worth mentioning is 451 M#038;A KnowledgeBase ? the company#8217;s merger and acquisition database, which contains details of all M#038;A deals tracked by The 451 Group, and offers the ability to filter search results to contain deals that are themed #8220;open source#8221;.

Open Source Rocks ?

Jan 04, 2010

My colleagues Luca Olivari and Anders Karlsson mentioned the importance of an ecosystem, open source or not.
I could not agree more.
One of the fastest growing open source ecosystem is currently the Android ecosystem.
Android also has a market place. Semantically, by the way there is a difference between a store (like Apple App Store) and a [...]

An example why Open Source rocks… Take that, Apple!

Jan 04, 2010

My colleague Luca Olivari wrote about the excellent site GetApp.com, where you can find loads of good Open SOurce applications. Where Luca goes wrong though is when he compares this to AppStore for iPhone. Apple does encourage iPhone application development, but it is not Open Source, which is why one crucial Web component is missing: a Flash plug-in. Yes, for those of you without an iPhone, you can NOT view Flash-based pages with an iPhone. The reason? Apple will not allow one, at least not yet, and Adobe has not announced a player for the iPhone.Although the Flash player in and of itself is not Open Source, this still shows what an active eco-system can do for you, it will encourage and promote more and innovative development. Looking at the competing Android platform (I’m on an Acer Liquid myself), a Flash player has been announced, but is not yet released. The eco-system around Android is much younger than that around iPhone, but it is just as large and is truly innovative. If we exclude that fact that tethering applications has been banned from Market (the Android app site), as a result of some telco companies realizing that this was not in their best interest (not that this will stop tethering in the end anyway, and excellent PdaNet, which I use right now, i close to as good, except that it is wired only (Bluetooth enabled PdaNet will be there with Android 2.0 though)).All in all, comparing AppStore and Market will show you just what a true live Open Source environment can do in terms of eco-systems. That Android is less mature in terms of usability and partly in terms of features compared to an iPhone is true, but it is close enough, fully Open Source, intergrates with all the neat Google things (GPS with Google maps is just great, for example) and is about 1/2 the price (at least here in sweden) (I got mine on an auction, and paid even less than my old clunky Nokia E66 even).So, all in all, if you want a true Open Source phone and is willing to accept that some assemply is required, then go for an Android. Take that, Apple!/KarlssonBTW. If you are wondering why I am not blogging as much on databases here as I used to, this is because the heated tone on the MySQL blog-front right now. Me being an evil person and all that.
