“From its humble origins in the ‘hacker’ culture of US computer science laboratories in the 1970s, open source software has grown to become arguably the most influential and talked about phenomenon to hit the computer industry since the invention of the microprocessor. Many of the proponents of OSS seem to have been captivated by the idea of a free lunch and may have failed to consider the longer-term effect of OSS on our fragile software ecosystem. Let us examine some of the issues surrounding OSS that aren’t normally aired in public.” .
Office software: Changing suites

An opportunity to get anything for free is often too tantalizing to resist. But, as the old saw goes, nothing is ever really free. Take software. Sure, online or downloadable office productivity suites such as Google Apps, OpenOffice, IBM’s Lotus Symphony and the lesser-known Zoho cost nothing to buy, which sounds compelling next to the $300 or so retail price of a single upgrade copy of Microsoft Office Standard 2007, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. (A full non-upgrade version of Office Ultimate 2007 lists for up to $900 per copy, unless you swing a long-term volume licensing deal.)
But there absolutely is a price to be paid for migrating to any new productivity suite, regardless of its initial cost. “The savings are never as great as people would like to believe,” says Fen Yik, an analyst with Info-Tech Research Group in London, Ont., who frequently fields questions from clients about Office alternatives.

“Using a Limited account during your everyday work gives better protection against malicious software infection and accidental misconfiguration. But installing software or changing some system settings can be difficult in a low privileged environment. The sudoWn project can execute individual programs (or even a whole Windows shell) with temporary Administrator privileges under your user profile. This means you can use a low privileged environment and elevate your rights transitionally for software installation or systemwide configuration comfortably.” .

A survey into ways in which colleges and universities can make computing greener and more sustainable is about to publish its preliminary findings.
Higher Education Environment Performance Improvement (Heepi) and SustainIT, an NGO set up to focus on the environmental and social impact of IT, are researching how sustainable further and higher education IT is, and how education best practice compares with the private sector.
The report being written for the Joint Information System Committee (Jisc) says green IT is best achieved through the collaboration of IT and estates management. It finds that increased energy and computing costs can be offset by technologies such as grid computing and virtualisation. The need to reduce carbon the footprint is behind a cull of wasteful IT practices.

Despite cost overruns and a 10-month delay, Portland’s leaders congratulated city managers Wednesday for how they’re handling the effort to install a new computer system for government business functions.
The City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to hire a new contractor to replace Ariston Consulting & Technologies, a San Diego-based firm that was overseeing the switch to a new citywide software system. They agreed to hire SAP, the company that wrote the software the city is using, and to borrow $11.5 million to help pay cost overruns.
City administrators say Ariston didn’t provide the kind of leadership they needed to install the new software and couldn’t handle the complexity of Portland’s bureaucracy. Ariston’s lawyer said that city managers didn’t know what they wanted when they hired the firm.

Three of the world’s biggest electronics companies – IBM, Sony and Philips – have joined forces with the two largest Linux software distributors to create a company for sharing Linux patents, royalty-free. The Open Invention Network, as the new firm unveiled Thursday is known, could mark a breakthrough in resolving how to protect vendors and customers from patent royalty disputes resulting from freely shared Linux code. .
