As a conclusion to our continuing series about misunderstandings that (still) surround Open Source, today we are covering the misconception that Open Source vendors are just the same as regular vendors of proprietary software. This may come as a bit of a shock to some, but since good OSS vendors are well embedded in the open source community and culture, should it really come as a surprise that this also influences the interactions and sales cycles?

In our continuing series about misunderstandings that (still) surround Open Source, today we are covering the misconception that Open Source is hopelessly fragmented and therefore impossible to use in an Enterprise setting.

In our continuing series about misunderstandings that (still) surround Open Source, today we are covering the misconception that the only reason you should look at open source is because it's cheap. While it may be so that there is a lesser or absent license cost, there are both reasons why the total cost of ownership may well be higher than proprietary software, but the benefits can also far outweigh that...

In a new series about misunderstandings that (still) surround Open Source, today we are covering the misconception that DYI is just more expensive.

We are under constant threat! And by "we", we mean our Tech environment, of course. Malware is rampant and software isn't always the best prepared to fight of the endless onslaught.

A cry for help or wanton vandalism by Open Source Project maintainers? Last week, the maintainer of the popular NPM package manager was responsible for breaking compatibility far and wide. As it turns out, this was a cry for attention for the plights of small but important OSS projects that are used widely by "Billion Dollar mega corporations" while the few (or even single) maintainers are merely scraping by to pay the bills. A little bit of research proves that this is far from a solitary issue an neither is it a recent development. Over the last decade, many projects that you and I use every day have almost disappeared because the maintainer just could not spend the time for free anymore. How did it get this far and how could this possibly be improved? Listen to this episode to hear our thoughts on the matter.

Cloud Computing is everywhere and apparently more companies feel it's a good idea to claim a piece of that fluffy pie. Recently, the parent company of the well know supermarket chain Lidl decided to join in the fun and they have now solidified their initiative by gobbling up a cloud security firm.... Is this a sign of things to come, or is the new Lidl cloud destined to stay... little? We also take a quick look at how the UK government is going to penalize unsafe password policies... A good thing, for sure, but why is the suggested law already full of security holes?

When we saw IBM put up a "Guide to open source development in the Cloud" website, we were expecting so much.... And we got so little...
