Open Source vacation link roundup
Here's a roundup of things that happened while I was away. I'm sure there were many more.
Optaros announces a European presence. Smart move and one I'm sure the other Open Source business startups will soon follow.
SpikeSource, Carnegie Mellon West Center for Open Source Investigation, O'Reilly and Intel launch "Business Readiness Rating" (BRR) as a "standard model of rating Open Source software".
Nat Torkington from O'Reilly starts a thread about the lack of Open Source related startups in Europe.
ApacheCon Europe ends (and seems to have been a success) and OSCON is underway. I miss both because of my vacation.
Apache gets a new company - well sort of. Dims and Sanjiva start WSO2. Congratulations! They are "creating an uncompromising middleware platform for Web services which treats Web services as first class components instead of as a facade to some existing platform like J2EE". All the software will be Open Source.
