Open Source Domino Next: Notes/Domino users get peek at future from IBM IBM releases WebSphere Portal 6.0. By John Fontana, Network World, 04/04/06 IBM provides a glimpse of the future to Notes/Domino users with the release of WebSphere Portal 6.0 and its support of next-generation Web technologies for building and assembling application components. WebSphere Portal 6.0 will become the foundation for Domino Next, which was unveiled for the first time in January and is slated to ship next year. Open Source Software Makes Inroads at Majority of Corporations Says Study from LinuxElectrons, a linux information and resource site Monday, December 19 2005 @ 08:35 PM CST Contributed by: ByteEnable BOSTON – Open source software has gone far beyond the Linux operating system, and is found in all parts of the technology infrastructures of most U.S. organizations (both corporate and government) and has resulted in cost savings for companies of all sizes, a research study led by Optaros Inc. has found. Emboldened by cost savings and other benefits, these companies expect to use significantly more open source software over the next five years and decrease their use of commercial software packages in their organizations. SCT Contributes to Architecture and Direction of Latest uPortal Release [Press Release] The unique collaboration furthers the development of open source technology and helps promote uPortal as a technology standard. SCT offers a supported and documented version of uPortal as a portion of the comprehensive SCT Luminis product family. Sun Grants Global Open Source Community Access to More than 1,600 Patents [Press Release] Largest Single Grant in Patent History Spurs Software Innovation Open Source Invades the Enterprise [Forbes Article] IT managers have long worried that open-source products were immature, or that there was no centralized company to take responsibility if there were problems with the software. Now, however, open source success stories far outweigh reported disasters. Gartner: Open source deserves a place in every IT portfolio [Computer World Article] Organizations refusing to include open source in their IT portfolio need to rethink their strategy, according to Gartner research vice president Dion Wiggins. Frameworks/Portals SUN e-learning framework Sun Microsystem's e-learning framework is more than just infrastructure. It is also about policies, like rigorous adherence to open standards, and procedures, like early and rapid prototyping, that will allow educators to realize the vast potential of e-learning as a web-based service.
