Re: Troubles with the Open Source Gig Economy and Sustainability Tip Jar

I agree that panhandling is not the best way to fund open software. "Working at organizations and having them dedicate time to contribute to open source" is no solution either, since those organizations will almost always be selling something closed (proprietary to the rescue again!)

As for "starting companies that sell open source based products", how do you sell something that can be freely copied, altered, and run? I don't see "support" as a widely-feasible solution. All other solutions involve getting away from openness: e.g. "open core" and more-restrictive licences.

No, the solution is just to charge for the software: JFC — Just F Charge. This can be mandated without affecting the really important aspects of open software that ensure that users aren't dependent on its suppliers (proprietary vendors on the other hand aim for lock-in). The DevWheels Licence does just this.

Yep! Been there. Done that. I spent a year doing it for the YouTube API and then a year doing it for Chrome with Dart.

Oh, and hi! Nice to hear from you again :)

Re: Software Versioning is Ridiculous

jeffdill2 — Thu, 21 Dec 2017 10:08:34 -0000

For software developers, version numbers are *critically* important.

Say, for instance, I'm using a gem from some third-party payment processor – currently at version 1.2.4. If they update to 1.2.5, I know that I can go ahead and upgrade to the latest version of the gem with no issues. That would be a minor revision, perhaps doing something more efficiently internally, that won't affect how my application works.

If they update to 1.3.0, I know two things: 1) my application won't stop working the way it currently works (which is, obviously, quite important) and 2) that there are new features that I can potentially take advantage of – perhaps something for dunning or options to gather threat level flags for the purchaser.

However, if they update to 2.0.0, I'm going to be very cautious before I upgrade to the latest version in my application. This would mean that they've introduced some "breaking" changes into their software and I will need to ensure that my utilization of their software jives with the changes. It's possible that the "breaking" changes are for a piece of their software that I'm not taking advantage of in my application but the only way to know that is to read the release notes carefully to understand what exactly has changed and how it will affect my application.

Re: Resizing Images using SWT

Sergey Nazarov — Mon, 11 Jan 2016 04:28:48 -0000

This method doesn't work for png with transparency. For png with transparency you shouldn't create new Image instance, you should draw directly to canvas.
Code Example:
public static Canvas drawScaledImage(Image image, Composite parent, int width, int height) {
Canvas imageCanvas = new Canvas (parent, SWT.NONE);
imageCanvas.addPaintListener( (event) -> {
GC gc = event.gc;
gc.setAntialias(SWT.ON);
gc.setInterpolation(SWT.HIGH);
gc.drawImage(image, 0, 0, image.getBounds().width, image.getBounds().height, 0, 0, width, height);
});

return imageCanvas;
}

Re: #OSCON 2015 and the Rise of Open Source Offices

Chris Aniszczyk — Mon, 27 Jul 2015 12:55:03 -0000

Thanks Phil, I definitely remember IBM as I worked there awhile ago making Eclipse successful and remember the fun times going through the Open Source Review Board.

I would be really curious to see if it is the oldest open source office/center, I was trying to dig up some history as part of the presentation but didn't have time to find the oldest one out there: http://www-03.ibm.com/linux...

It would definitely be an interesting exercise to do so and I may do a more targeted presentations on just the History of Open Source Offices.

Thanks!

Phil Estes — Mon, 27 Jul 2015 12:50:59 -0000

We might be easy to miss as a young, small company (</sarcasm>), but we (IBM) have had open source developers since 1999 when we founded the IBM Linux Technology Center ( http://www-03.ibm.com/linux... ) and now have our Cloud division Open Technologies organization ( https://developer.ibm.com/o... ) that is active in Docker, CloudFoundry, and OpenStack communities and had a large contingent at #OSCON speaking on various open source topics.

Re: FoundationDB and Open Source Foundations

John Hugg — Wed, 25 Mar 2015 14:30:09 -0000

But it wasn't an open source system, just some peripheral bits that depended on a closed core were open.

Maybe people were using the open SQL parser. Even in that case, it's not like the code is *gone*, it just needs to be cloned from someones repo into a public repo. That will probably happen. At least I hope so.

Re: Apache (and other foundations) considered useful

bobhaugen — Tue, 09 Dec 2014 16:05:52 -0000

This is not total disagreement, I agree the foundations are useful. But the notion of people participating in anything with economic impacts as individuals when they are paid to do so by their companies is at least semi-fictional. Everybody knows who they work for, and they can participate freely because they are getting paid for it. Including travel expenses to meetings.

Ahahaha, your funny, I like your post. But one thing that is very important to know is that when you have a problem with your iPhone you call the company complaining that you have a problem with the gd phone and you need a fix now!. How the hell will the support figure out what is the "possible" problem when they don't get the version number of the phone or the software? You have to understand that the number there is very important for you and for the company. Think that for software versions you add modules all the time untill you reach a version point. If a user has a software backdated because he not so in with technology or he is ok with his current functionality of V.1.0.0 and I made like v.1.5.3, and he doesnt tell me his version, how am I supposed to know if the problem is CAUSED BY SOMETHING I DID YESTERDAY OR SOMETHING I DID BEFORE ONE YEAR?

Anyways. Peace and love..

Re: Maven Tycho, Hudson (Jenkins) and Eclipse

Vikram — Fri, 02 Aug 2013 11:32:45 -0000

Good job Chris!!...I picked a lot up referring your wiki pages while trying to build my tycho for eclipse plugins...I still have one scenario that I am unable to build using tycho. I have some third-party plugins/features on which my plugins/features are dependent ("Import-Package" in manifest). So I host these plugins on a locally created p2 repo .This works as I verified using the p2-director application with -list option that shows all my bundles from local p2 style repo. In my parent pom I make a reference to this p2-repo expecting tycho will pull these bundles for compiling/building my plugins. However, Tycho does not do as expected here....resulting in compile errors for my plugins. Any pointers how to get around this?
