Fwd: [emergency] DHS Secretary Ridge Gives the Go Ahead to Linux

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Folks,

I thought I would pass this along so we can metaphorically break 
bread in honor of LAMP to light the way. BTW LAMP means Linux, 
Apache, MySQL and PHP. To which I would add, in honor of Sylvia, 
Python and make it LAMPP. PP also reminds me of Preferences and 
Profiles, as in the Human Preferences and Profiles ML, which I will 
propose in the New Business category for our next meeting. In Old 
Business we we need to discuss and decide how we want to address the 
the OASIS IPR Policy changes iiitiative, (See 
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200407/msg00002.html), 
updating our charter and deliverables and making ready to welcome 
some corporate involvement, through HPPML in the now-established 
Mediation SC.That meeting is next week, and, pending confirmation 
from Sandy, I will probably be sending out the call info today or 
tomorrow, with an agenda.

The article below really tickles me. Of course, I'm in the middle of 
writing an XML2004 paper on CAP and WSRP, which will mention some of 
these issues, but I also happen to know that we have had to carefully 
navigate around some obstacles and avoid some pitfalls between CAP 
and GJXDM. Good training for the Mediation SC.

However, be that as it may, I think that the fact that the 
infrastructure on which DHS's lead contractor at least does its 
development on is LAMP is encouraging.

Of course, that's only sensible since 80% of the web uses Apache and 
Apache is free, so that is pretty much guaranteed to be low bid. Of 
course, I'll take an outbreak of sensible anywhere I find it.

Ciao,
Rex
