He believes in something that's far harder for mortal open source engineers to achieve. That dream? To produce a desktop more beautiful to ordinary users than legions of Apple programmers supping on the milk of chief exec Steve Jobs' alleged brilliance are capable of producing. That includes a desktop not funded by a clutter of annoying banner or Flash-based ads, but paid for by subscription-based services. Now you're done dreaming, go home and code for the victory. In a Tuesday evening O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) keynote, Shuttleworth called on delegates to make a concerted effort not just to catch Apple but to overtake the company in the quality of the desktop experience they deliver users.

heise online - EU-Kommission veröffentlicht Entwurf für Interoperabilitätsrahmen

In dem Vorschlag für die Novelle des European Interoperability Framework (EIF) plädiert die Brüsseler Behörde allgemein für den Einsatz offener Standards in der Verwaltung. Offenheit senke die Hürden für einen Markteintritt, fördere den Wettbewerb und führe zu mehr Qualität, Auswahl und niedrigeren Preisen. Sie sichere zugleich den Zugang zu Informationen und Diensten. Offene Standards kämen so gerade der öffentlichen Verwaltung zugute, da diese die Kontrolle über eingesetzte Normen oder technische Spezifikationen sowie etwa verwendete Metadaten und Schemata behalten müsse.

Google's Android platform: not so open after all

Third-party Android application developers, who have grown increasingly frustrated with the lack of SDK updates, were shocked to discover that Google has been secretly making new versions of the Android SDK available to the Android Developer Challenge (ADC) finalists under non-disclosure agreements.
