whitepaper Demography of Linux Kernel Developers2006-12-22 Tampere University of Technology
  Several success stories of Open Source (OS) products have been seen during last decade. Due to the economical importance of the products, it is important to know who are the ones who have the largest influence to the products. Therefore, studying demography of open source projects is essential. In this paper the aspect is studied with respect to the Linux Kernel. The authors show that the influence is centered to a small number of core people, and corporates have a large impact to the development. Moreover, it enumerate the most influential companies of the Linux Kernel community. Besides influence, the authors have touched the nature of development from the point of view of the actual code.

whitepaper An Open Source AJAX Comparison Matrix2006-12-05 JupiterMedia
  Open source AJAX frameworks and toolkits have matured to the point where they can handle just about any rich Internet application development task. To provide a reference guide for how well they handle particular tasks, the author has developed a side-by-side comparison matrix of the most popular ones. The author selected the open source frameworks that the Ajaxian.com 2006 Survey recently identified as the most popular. Ajaxian.com is a leading online resource for the AJAX community, operated by early adopters of the technology.

whitepaper Integration of Runtime Profiling and Static Code Analysis in Linux2006-12-03 University of British Columbia
  This paper describes a method for profiling large systems software on a Linux platform. Based on runtime profiling results, the bottleneck source code gets analyzed statically, thus identifying the poor algorithms that caused the low performance. Employing of various tools used to profile the case study application leads to the conclusion of increasing importance for integrating code analysis with runtime collected data. The current status of existing tools on Linux platforms that support the methodology described is being summarized.

whitepaper Using SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop With Microsoft Active Directory Infrastructure2006-12-01 Novell
  Heterogeneous IT environments are a fact of life. Nowadays information-driven enterprises have grown up with Microsoft and have come to depend heavily on Microsoft operating systems. And that means they have had to work hard to integrate home-grown, legacy and proprietary solutions within a predominantly Microsoft environment. Nowadays, Linux and open source software promise to transform IT economics, security and functionality for companies looking for an alternative to Microsoft. But for the foreseeable future, many companies will only be able to implement open source software side by side with Microsoft, rather than as a rip-and-replace alternative. Or they may attempt to migrate to open source over time, gradually phasing out Microsoft platforms to avoid the cost and disruption of deploying a completely new IT infrastructure.

whitepaper Create an Excel Report From Several Oracle Databases Using Apache Jakarta POI0000-00-00 Oracle
  Microsoft Excel spreadsheets are ubiquitous in today's business environment. Although Excel can read and display delimited files, the .xls proprietary format provides additional expressive features, including font formatting and multiple sheets per spreadsheet. Many tools - commercial as well as open source - provide a mechanism for producing reports that Excel can read. Depending on the structure and use of particular databases, there are additional reasons why one might produce this type of spreadsheet, but these reasons are dependent upon functional requirements and definitions of particular databases. This paper describes how to use the Apache Jakarta POI open source project to produce a spreadsheet from several different datasources.
