Is he a decision maker? 2013-01-09 10:05 was 2013-01-09 10:07 Btw. the GnuTLS recently left the GNU project http://lwn.net/Articles/529522/ 2013-01-09 10:09 and RMS was all "you can't to that since you assigned your copyright to the FSF" 2013-01-09 10:09 !!!! 2013-01-09 10:14 gnu sed maintainer left GNU as well 2013-01-09 10:16 yes, he did this in part because of the gnutls dispute 2013-01-09 10:16 http://lwn.net/Articles/530460/ 2013-01-09 10:16 this reminds me of how Linus has omitted the "[GPL2] or any later version" clause in Linux 2013-01-09 10:16 turns out it was a wise decision 2013-01-09 10:17 for sure 2013-01-09 10:18 hm, interesting 2013-01-09 10:22 then there is noone behind the open source community, i think it's bad 2013-01-09 10:23 kyak: huh? 2013-01-09 10:23 there is no such thing as an "open source community" 2013-01-09 10:23 or rather "the open source community" 2013-01-09 10:37 yeah, that's what i wanted to say 2013-01-09 10:47 rz2k has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 2013-01-09 10:58 kyak: huh? I don't get why is this bad. or how this could be different, in fact. 2013-01-09 10:58 "open source community" as a term is something like "humanity". not referring to a single entity under circumstances I could imagine. 2013-01-09 10:59 kyak: we all are. that's strength. 2013-01-09 10:59 whitequark: the other model would be: one community, one fuehrer, ... ;-) 2013-01-09 10:59 wpwrak: exactly 2013-01-09 10:59 BDFLs work for *parts* of OSS communities. preferably very small parts. 2013-01-09 10:59 well, it sort of worked for apple ;-) 2013-01-09 11:00 wpwrak: not long-term 2013-01-09 11:10 wpwrak: how is that a strength? What can we do? Go sign an online petition? 2013-01-09 11:11 the community is sparse and uncontrolled, that's efeectively means it doesn't exist 2013-01-09 11:11 there is noone behind our backs 2013-01-09 11:13 that is, if FSF is what you described (non-transparent and loosing members) 2013-01-09 11:14 kyak: uncontrolled? you mean unorganized? 2013-01-09 11:15 kyak: what's your native language btw? 2013-01-09 11:15 jluis|work has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 2013-01-09 11:15 kyak: but there is FSFE too 2013-01-09 11:15 lindi-: (unorganized) sorry for that. It's Russian. 2013-01-09 11:16 never heard of FSFE 2013-01-09 11:16 kyak: i see that you don't believe in self-organizaion. good that we didn't have to rely on evolution to get us out of the primordial dirt. that would never have worked ;-) 2013-01-09 11:17 wpwrak: i see that you rely on self-organization, let's mee where it brings in a nearest future :) 2013-01-09 11:17 hm, 'm' is not even close to 's' on keyboard 2013-01-09 11:17 kyak: fsfe.org -- I'm a member of the Finnish team there 2013-01-09 11:18 lindi-: what do you do there as a member? 2013-01-09 11:18 kyak: biggest project last year was http://fsfe.org/news/2012/news-20120619-01.en.html 2013-01-09 11:18 i see the same "secure boot" story on main page 2013-01-09 11:19 kyak: this year we were planning free your android workshops 2013-01-09 11:19 whitequark: (GPL v2+) don't see the connection. the risk is basically that GPL n (n > current) might allow things you'd rather want forbidden. GPL < n already gives you a perpetual license to use the sw under the present term, so it's not possible to take anything away. 2013-01-09 11:20 lindi-: (procurrement violations) interesting, but is it really open-source related? 2013-01-09 11:20 kyak: definitely 2013-01-09 11:20 means you are proposing open source (and free) replacementS? 2013-01-09 11:20 kyak: if the public organizations only buy "Oracle" or "Microsoft" products then it is hard to compete 2013-01-09 11:21 kyak: no, we are making sure that FLOSS solutions can compete on equal grounds 2013-01-09 11:21 kyak: it's lobbying the surroundings of free software 2013-01-09 11:23 i see.. but it's really hard. If they want Oracle, they will find reasons why 2013-01-09 11:23 kyak: but the Finnish law will not allow them to do that 2013-01-09 11:23 their admins are good at Oracle 2013-01-09 11:24 kyak: it's complicated but if they are dependent on Oracle then they need to publish a document where they explain why they are stuck to this one vendor 2013-01-09 11:24 kyak: as I understand it the law is pretty clear on this for public organizations 2013-01-09 11:25 kyak: it's not necessarily about forcing them not to make bad choices, but about encouraging them to make good ones. not all public servants are moles of big capital and organized crime ;-) 2013-01-09 11:26 wpwrak: i don't believe that after you said them that mysql is a better choice, they would say "really? thanks, we never heard of that" 2013-01-09 11:27 and then would thank you for helping them make a better choice 2013-01-09 11:27 kyak: but you need to understand that procurement does not quite work like that 2013-01-09 11:27 kyak: they publish the specifications and they pretty much need to take the cheapest offer 2013-01-09 11:27 jluis|work has joined #qi-hardware 2013-01-09 11:27 yeah, that's right 2013-01-09 11:28 so who will offer on behalf of some open source project? 2013-01-09 11:28 they don't even have an accounting :) 2013-01-09 11:29 kyak: there are many companies that sell solutions based on open source components 2013-01-09 11:29 kyak: there are lots of companies that sell open source. ever heard of, say, red hat ? :) 2013-01-09 11:29 lindi-: heh, nearly identical :) 2013-01-09 11:29 red hat is another monopolist 2013-01-09 11:29 yawn :) 2013-01-09 11:29 pcercuei has joined #qi-hardware 2013-01-09 11:29 here in munich the public administration switched to a Linux based infrastructure some time ago, not only servers but also desktops 2013-01-09 11:30 at least our university bought midgard CMS and dovecot from private companies 2013-01-09 11:30 they claim that they saved money, but their calculations are a bit fisht 2013-01-09 11:30 fishy 2013-01-09 11:31 larsc: http://fsfe.org/fi/projects/libreoffice/Web%20version%20with%20notes%20-%20Dirty%20tactics%20against%20LibreOffice%20in%20public%20administration,%20and%20how%20to%20overcome%20them.pdf 2013-01-09 11:31 larsc: we haven't been able to access the calculations yet 2013-01-09 11:31 cool.. some companies work their ass off making software, and others just package open source software with minimal resources 2013-01-09 11:31 larsc: I have a Gardner account but it does not have enough privileges to see that Gardner publication 2013-01-09 11:31 i say, that the second company is a leech 2013-01-09 11:31 Gartner even 2013-01-09 11:32 kyak: what second company? 2013-01-09 11:32 kyak: dovecot? 2013-01-09 11:33 lindi-: the one that just packages open source software and sells it. As opposed to the company that actually spends money to develop software (and it doesn't matter at this point if it open or closed source) 2013-01-09 11:34 kyak: well the dovecot company developed dovecot 2013-01-09 11:34 kyak: http://www.dovecot.fi/ 2013-01-09 11:34 " Our game is email storage. We are pretty good at it." 2013-01-09 11:36 there are many open source projects with no companies behind them 2013-01-09 11:36 kyak: so? anyone can start a company to sell solutions based on those 2013-01-09 11:36 or even, there are few open source projects with companies behind them 2013-01-09 11:36 lindi-: that anyone would be a leech 2013-01-09 11:36 kyak: why? 2013-01-09 11:37 because they are not investing their money 2013-01-09 11:37 kyak: why would they not invest money? 2013-01-09 11:37 or, as much money as company that actually develops software 2013-01-09 11:37 if their entire business depends on that piece of software they would be very unwise to not invest money 2013-01-09 11:37 because i can package shit for free 2013-01-09 11:37 kyak: I think you need to name some specific company, it is difficult to speculate 2013-01-09 11:38 redhat ;) 2013-01-09 11:38 redhat probably develops something... 2013-01-09 11:38 packages all the stuff and then sells expensive support contracts for it 2013-01-09 11:38 redhat paid a lot of people to work for free java and now they are paying people to develop systemtap 2013-01-09 11:38 I was joking 2013-01-09 11:38 :P 2013-01-09 11:39 lindi-: i can't name anything specific.. maybe, who is behind postgresql? 2013-01-09 11:39 or another example, octave 2013-01-09 11:39 kyak: redhat and some postgresql experts inc. 2013-01-09 11:39 how it can enter a procurement contest? 2013-01-09 11:40 kyak: you just form a company and fill out some forms 2013-01-09 11:40 kyak: and hire a lawyer 2013-01-09 11:40 exactly.. so easy 2013-01-09 11:40 that's why it's leeching 2013-01-09 11:40 kyak: I don't understand you 2013-01-09 11:40 hm. fsck. its january and my accounting sw hates me. 2013-01-09 11:41 getting money for doing nothing.. using other people's labour 2013-01-09 11:41 lindi-: btw, redhat develops a proper free AA64 JIT for OpenJDK right now 2013-01-09 11:41 kyak: doing nothing? 2013-01-09 11:41 (oracle has proprietary AA32 and AA64 JITs) 2013-01-09 11:41 kyak: if anybody can do this you'd expect very hard competition which drives the price down 2013-01-09 11:41 kyak: surely if you offer a solution based on postgresql you are going to have to handle a lot of support and integration issues 2013-01-09 11:41 down to the point were you not pay for the software, but rather for the service 2013-01-09 11:42 kyak: I don't think anybody has managed to do that with octave. sage might have a chance 2013-01-09 11:42 our university pays to non-free things like matlab, mathematica, simulink 2013-01-09 11:42 larsc: nobody does that because open source solutions usually are not quite comptetive. Also, usually the contest mentions that support is required. So it suddenly becomes not so attractive to package and sell open source software 2013-01-09 11:42 I'd certainly welcome free alternatives 2013-01-09 11:43 kyak: well the procurement notice could have almost any terms but usually it has some sort of a 5-year support contract 2013-01-09 11:44 lindi-: there is another thing. If there is always a company behind any competitor in a contest (even open source), why are you doing their jobs? 2013-01-09 11:45 it's their job to persuade customers, do marketing etc 2013-01-09 11:45 or, i forgot.. they don't want to spend money? 2013-01-09 11:45 kyak: well we are much more neutral body since we are not tied to some specific company 2013-01-09 11:45 you are tied to open source companies, aren't you? 2013-01-09 11:46 kyak: yes but not some specific company 2013-01-09 11:47 lindi-: say, if there is a cheaper close-source solution and a more expensive open-source solution, and am open-source solution wa chosen. Will you fight for the rights of closed-source company? 2013-01-09 11:47 but now time for dinner 2013-01-09 11:48 bon appetit! 2013-01-09 11:48 btw, such occasions are very much possible with redhat, i suppose 2013-01-09 11:53 i think there are groups here in Russia doing the same. Mostly individuals, who keep track of official procurement site and make noise if they find something. But this is not really related to open source, since it can happen to everyone. That's why i asked initialy why it was open source related 2013-01-09 13:06 kyak: you need to decide whether it's money for nothing or prohibitively hard work. right now you're saying it's both ;-) 2013-01-09 13:18 wpwrak: if you package and sell it, it's money for nothing. But not anybody can do this, because it takes responsibility to support other people's code after you sold it.
