"So, this is why Vista 7 [sic] is covered positively…"

Alongside all the high-profile wins for free software, there are what might be called guerilla gains happening in the background – small conceptual victories that point to greater things. Here's two....On Open Enterprise blog.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a CGI script which would convert bunch of SQL queries into XLS file on-the-fly? And while we are at it, let's have multiple reports, each in it's own directory? In a sense, it's simple REST API to SQL files on disk which produce Excel files. I first wrote something like this back in 2002, but until now, I didn't have subversion repository for it or announced it to the world. Each file in current directory which ends in *.sql will be converted to Excel sheet. If you want to have specific order, you can prefix filenames with numbers which will be striped when creating sheet names.

Last week I was talking at the Open Everything meeting in London, where I went through some (most) of my tropes about openness and the creation of a commons, about enclosure (of land, creativity and ideas), how today's open movements are based on the economics of abundance, not scarcity, and are actually a return to a pre-lapsarian state, rather than something inherently new.

Although they may be competitors in a particular sector, the open source licence they employ means that they are also partners: they can generally use the code of other companies if they wish. The stronger those companies become, the more code they produce, and the more code there is available to everyone – including their nominal rivals. This makes the commercial ecosystem that evolves around free software strangely collegiate: everyone has a vested interest in growing the code base, because it is a commons that all can and do draw on....On Open Enterprise blog.

When Mark Shuttleworth, the man behind Canonical/Ubuntu, made the comment that Ubuntu should be prettier than Apple OSX in near term I got excited - the man was absolutely right.
