"Prestigious US academic institution Princeton University will prevent researchers from giving the copyright of scholarly articles to journal publishers, except in certain cases where a waiver may be granted. The new rule is part of an Open Access policy aimed at broadening the reach of their scholarly work and encouraging publishers to adjust standard contracts that commonly require exclusive copyright as a condition of publication."
"As an open source company, Red Hat is held to high standards. We embrace this. In 2011 you can expect us to increase our investment in open source contributions, while simultaneously competing with companies who are threatened by the continuing disruptive advancement of open source in the enterprise."
"We've collected 53 different open source projects that can make your desktop environment faster, prettier, easier to use or just a little different. They run the gamut from small utilities that do just one thing to open source operating systems that can replace Windows. We've included a number of tools for Linux users that can help you customize your desktop to meet your unique needs and tastes."
"Intuit, developer of Quicken and QuickBooks business financial management software, announced it is unveiling a website where developers can collaborate to solve some of the company's biggest product challenges and win a $10,000 challenge. ... "The talent at Intuit is impressive, but we know that we don't have all the answers," said Jan Bosch, VP of open innovation at Intuit.

"These six ideas emerged in 2010 as powerful "innovation invitations" and seem sure to intensify in power and influence. They'll increasingly be a source of, and resource for, innovation differentiation in 2011, if not for your organization, then for the firm you most dread competing against."
"Rod Smith, Vice President of Emerging Technologies, IBM Software Group, and Jason Gartner, IBM's Director of Java Technologies talk about this week's news on the IBM and Oracle agreement to cooperate on OpenJDK."
"Critics of this argument may cite the sheer number of users that the popular social networking sites have, but let's not forget how fickle users of these sites are. MySpace once ruled the roost in social networking, and that was only a few years ago. It is now a sinking ship. Users of social networking sites can make or break them very quickly."
"But the best role model is Eclipse, formed through IBM's 2001 donation of its Java development software. IBM executives decided to share control when they realized "they needed Eclipse to become independent to achieve their strategic goal to have the broader Java ecosystem adopt Eclipse," says Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. Since then, the foundation has been able to attract outside participation not only through its formal processes, but also through new bottom-up initiatives created and led by outsiders."
"President-elect Obama has made a clear commitment to changing the way government relates to the People. His campaign was a demonstration of the value in such change, and a glimpse of its potential. His transition team has now taken a crucial step in making the work of the transition legally shareable, demonstrating that the values Obama spoke of are values that will guide his administration. To further support this commitment to change, and to help make it tangible, we offer three “open transition principles” to guide the transition in its use of the Internet to produce the very best in open government."
