sourceXchange: Software-Development Model of the Future
|
|
</font>
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
More than just a job-posting or recruiting Web site, sourceXchange is
|
|
the industry's first vehicle to manage the open-source development
|
|
process that protects the interests of both corporate sponsors and
|
|
open-source developers.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The sourceXchange is a Web site that maintains a database of all
|
|
published project RFPs posted by corporate sponsors, registers
|
|
open-source developers and their teams, manages RFP responses from the
|
|
developer community, and manages payment. It also will incorporate
|
|
peer review and project milestones to ensure quality and reliability of
|
|
each development project.
|
|
<P>
|
|
SourceXchange, an affiliate of O'Reilly & Associates, was founded in
|
|
conjunction with HP, the founding sponsor. The two companies plan to
|
|
launch the service in early summer with an array of open-source
|
|
development projects from HP that expand its commitment to open-source
|
|
technologies. Pending a successful beta launch in July, sourceXchange
|
|
will accept projects from other enterprise sponsors.
|
|
<P>
|
|
See <A HREF=http://www.sourcexchange.com>www.sourcexchange.com</A> for

details.

Cosource.com: another service to fund Open Source development
|
|
</font>
|
|
</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Redmond, WA -- Veriteam, Inc., today announced the launch of their
|
|
web-based service, Cosource.com (
|
|
<A HREF=http://www.cosource.com>www.cosource.com</A>), which will
|
|
enable users of Open Source Software to directly influence the
|
|
development of Open Source Projects.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Cosource.com will launch the beta-testing phase of their service on
|
|
June 1, 1999. During the beta-testing phase, registered sponsors will
|
|
nominate seed projects for development by Open Source developers, while
|
|
programmers will register as potential developers of sponsored
|
|
projects. After the beta phase, Cosource.com will begin accepting
|
|
sponsorships for specific projects from consumers of Open Source
|
|
Software.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Cosource.com allows individuals to offer financial rewards to
|
|
developers of Open Source Projects in exchange for creating software
|
|
that meets the individuals' needs. On the web site, a database records
|
|
the specifications and initial sponsorship amount offered for a
|
|
project. After the initial sponsorship, other sponsors can easily add
|
|
their sponsorship amounts to the project, thus increasing the bounty
|
|
offered for the project.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Once a significant bounty has accrued, developers bid for the right to
|
|
produce the software according to the specifications detailed by the
|
|
project's sponsors. The Staff at Cosource.com coordinate the interface
|
|
between the sponsors and developers, making sure the needs of the
|
|
sponsors are met and the developers are paid for their efforts.
|
|
Sponsors make their payments via a secure credit card payment system,
|
|
and the developer is paid with one check issued by Cosource.com.

CTiTEK replaced Windows NT with Linux on a client's webserver

</H3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
Chesterfield, MO - May 18, 1999 - CTiTEK Inc.
|
|
<P>
|
|
"This is the fourth Linux installation in two months. Others consisted of
|
|
firewalls and Email servers.
|
|
<P>
|
|
An estimated $2,000 - $10,000 annual savings can be realized when switching to
|
|
a Linux server. (Includes labor, hardware, and software savings).
|
|
<P>
|
|
A Microsoft FrontPage error on an Email form was the last straw that caused
|
|
this conversion to Linux.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Instead of consistent errors and copious amounts of time spent on Microsoft's
|
|
software undocumented 'issues', it was decided to rebuild the system into a
|
|
Linux machine.
|
|
<P>
|
|
It all started by using Windows NT with Option Pack 4 to run multiple web sites
|
|
one year ago. The customer wanted to run several websites on one machine, so
|
|
Windows NT with Option Pack 4 was used.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Today it became necessary to run an Email Form (an area on the website that one
|
|
can fill-in and the info is sent by email to someone in the company) on the
|
|
website, and FrontPage was used to keep everything in the MS 'family'.
|
|
Unfortunately the FrontPage Email Form did not work properly with the
|
|
webserver. After spending countless hours trying to solve the problem,
|
|
including several calls to Microsoft, we realized that the Windows NT Operating
|
|
system will have to be rebuilt with the latest version of the Management
|
|
Console (An uninstall and installation of the latest option pack did not work).
|
|
<P>
|
|
We selected Linux because it is a robust, free Operating System (benchmark
|
|
tests with reputable magazines indicate a minimum 75% higher performance).

|
