In my previous post where I talked about "Linux and FOSS no longer being the underdog", changes continued to take place in a way that we, promoters of free and open source software, have been waiting for, and for years.
Three years ago I remember discussing with a great ally, COPU, about launching a Chinese marketing campaign,.....
The biggest open source conference of the year, the Open Source World Summit, just took place in China last week.
Organized by COPU since 2006 with two instances happening outside of the Guangzhou capital in 2007 and 2008, this year saw again a great attendance from both international and local Linux and open source companies. Positioned as a.....
This is with great pleasure that this "little corner of the Web" is resuming activities through another member of the (now famous ;-)) Beijing Linux User Group (BLUG) doing the reporting.
I was reading my predecessors first posts to get a feel of what a first post should be, as well as Jonathan Schwartz.....
Sun Microsystems' chairman and co-founder Scott McNealy, told the BBC he had been asked by the new U.S. administration to prepare a paper on how the use of open source software within government, can improve both security and the cost-effective use of technology.

During the recent Beijing Open Source Camp, I met with senior executives of Proactum, an open source software company from Finland.

The executives--Proactum chairman Anneli Koivunen, senior partner Jouko Hyppönen and senior advisor Mikko Puhakka--shared their ideas on open source......
The 6th OpenOffice Annual Conference 2008 in Beijing is almost ready. I just got a nice entry pass from the organizing committee--it's all red hot, full of energy and I can feel the power of open source.
The opening ceremony will be held at DiaoYutai State Guesthouse tomorrow morning, where is a high level conference place for most national conferences. We.....
After my long trip to Guangzhou, I am now back in Beijing for China's National Day holiday. It is a sunny day today and I have had some free time to look back and write something about my stay down south.
It was Guangzhou's hottest day when we got there. If you stood by the road, sweat would drip down from.....
Google has finally released its new strategic weapon: Google Chrome, a Web browser developed on the Webkit project.
Let's take a look at some key features of Chrome:
