The nature of the open source community is changing. I'm not exactly sure what "open source community" means anymore. When I first got involved with open source in 1998/99, the community was distinct: It was Eric Raymond, Bruce Perens, Robin Miller, and others like them. Developers. Gear heads. Hackers. Today, it's unclear whether that community still exists in any separate, discernible form.

Many software executives break out in hives at the mere mention of the GPL. Most likely, this is due to the GPL's "restriction on downstream restrictions," a clause that sets the GPL apart from other open-source licenses that allow downstream users to license derivations restrictively.

With the explosive growth of the Internet, the workload on servers providing Web, email, and media services has increased greatly. More and more sites are being challenged to keep up with the growing demands and are employing several techniques to avoid overloading their servers. Building a scalable server on a cluster of computers is one of the solutions that is being effectively put to use. With such a cluster, the increasing requests can be easily managed by simply adding one or more new servers to the existing cluster as required. In this article we will look at setting up one such scalable, network load-balancing server cluster using a virtual server via the Linux Virtual Server Project.

In OpenOffice.org (OO.o), extra features and extensions can be distributed inside OO.o files or packaged in their own, cross-platform format. Many members of the OO.o community would like to see a full-blown extension installer fully integrated into the program. Most GNU/Linux distributors, however, see this and other non-native, application-specific installers (from the CPAN shell to the one for Firefox extensions) just as a "cause of much annoyance and grief".

I will be continuing, with Sourcelabs support, my role as a leader in the Open Source developer community, devoting about half of my time to that task as I have since 1999. I will continue to work on political issues that threaten Open Source, such as increases in software patenting. My current involvements in Open Source projects such as UserLinux will continue. I will also continue as a board member of Open Source Risk Management, Technovera, SPI, and No-Code International, and as operator of Technocrat.net .
