Last week we saw the latest version of the ever popular Firefox open source web browser (Version 4). Firefox is one of the great open source success stories from the fantastic people at Mozilla and hopefully will be for a long time to come. Even when it had only been out for 2 days it had already seen great popularity and downloads. To celebrate Mozilla have put together this infographic with all the great statistics:

  • Evolution: The Eight Stages Of Listening « Web Strategy by Jeremiah Owyang | Social Media, Web Marketing
    As Social Customers Become More Empowered, Organizations Must Have A Listening StrategyAs we approach 2010 planning companies need a strategy around listening. Sadly, most companies, and their agency partners don’t know why to listen or how. As a result, they must identify which stage of listening they are at, and then set a goal on which stage they see to aspire in 2010. I originally published this matrix for client workshops and a keynote presentation on developing listening and advocacy programs, and I’m going to continue to share more and blow-out each of my slides.

  • New privacy law on cookies – do we need to take action? > Smart Insights Digital Marketing
    The cookie opt-in deadline

    In this post we hope to alert all website managers and owners to the rapidly approaching 25th May 2011 deadline to incorporate “cookie opt-in law” into their sites. This deadline is set by EU members in Brussels as part of the “Citizens Rights Directive” 2009/136 (“CRD”) which includes amendments to the E-Commerce Directive (2002/58/EC).

    Our update on this law is based on the latest advice from Marketing Law (Osborne-Clarke) and Out-Law (Pinsent Masons) which are the two legal sites we always turn to for UK digital marketing law updates.

  • Cookies saved (maybe) by UK response to revised e-privacy directive | Osborne Clarke
    The UK Government launched a consultation on implementation of the "Citizens Rights Directive" 2009/136 ("CRD") which amongst other things amends the E-Commerce Directive (2002/58/EC).

    The key point which UK marketers were waiting to hear about was cookie consent. Would the UK be following the apparently clear thrust of the CRD and introducing "cookie opt-in" into UK law with effect from 25 May 2011 (the deadline imposed by Brussels for transposition of the CRD into the local laws of all EU states)?

Opensourcers running a popular code management project have declared independence from Oracle by voting to fork rather than leave the giant in charge.

Community members of Hudson have voted by 214 to 14 to keep the Hudson mailing list and archive on Google Groups and source code on GitHub servers. An interim governance board has also been named to run the project.

Hudson has more 290 contributors and 25,000 company customers, according to platform-as-a-service Hudson start-up Cloudbees.

The fork will be now called “Jenkins” with servers parked under the new domain name Jenkins-ci.org.

The fork leaves Oracle holding on to the original “Hudson” project name, which it fought so hard to retain, but little else as it’s losing both the mailing lists and archive and the code repository. Oracle gets to keep Hudson’s core project code structure.

Lacking the mailing lists, the Oracle-owned Hudson will revert to the lists parked on its Java.net servers. Having lost the code contribs repository to Github, Oracle will rely on a mirror of the Hudson github repository on its hudson.java.net servers.

Oracle also appears to have re-branded Hudson. The site now lives under a new, strikingly similar URL to Jenkins – hudson-ci.org – and features a polished new look. You can still see the old site here.

It was the Java.net servers that were the origins of the fork.

Hudson users had become tired of the unreliability of Oracle’s Java.net servers and after being locked out moved the mailing lists and code repositories off to Google and GitHub late last year.

And they’d almost have got away with it, too, had not Oracle stepped in at the very last moment before the switch and told Hudson devs they weren’t allowed to change hosts and continue to call the project “Hudson”. Oracle claimed it owned the Hudson name.

Only Oracle does not officially own the Hudson name, as it’s not registered to Oracle in either the US or Europe. Oracle, meanwhile, tried to placate Hudson dissidents by saying they could customize Hudson with all the add ins they wanted – just that to modify the core code meant they could not use the Hudson name. It was a limited offer that didn’t impress Hudson users.

Now, Oracle doesn’t own either the name that it clung to, or the assets that made Hudson so valuable – the latest code people had checked in, or their communications.

This is the second time Oracle has clung to a name at the expense of the code or the people assets that gave the actual project itself value. Open sourcers participating in OpenOffice last year went UDI, creating The Document Foundation after Oracle refused to agree to a new governance structure that would have greatly reduced its control.

Oracle is unlikely to lose out in the long term on Hudson. It sells so much Java middleware and apps that Oracle can re-populate code and contributions it’s just lost from devs working its software or the existing customer base. And, while the Jenkins crew might have the assets they don’t have that brand familiarity. There could also be some confusion as servers and code are renamed.

The deciding factors will be where the weight of developers and code contributions settles in the long run, whether Hudson and Jenkins attract enough participants so that both projects continue in parallel, or whether Oracle – lacking community buy in – can keep Hudson going on its own.

Oracle chief Hudson maintainer Winston Prakash promised here that Oracle and “some of our partners and current Hudson community members… will continue to build and grow the Hudson project and community.”

For Oracle, it needs to decide when, and if, Jenkins is supported in its JDeveloper IDE.

The giant is currently busy putting its own spin on how the fork went down. It personalized the dispute by singling out Hudson core contributor Andrew Bayer and Cloudbees, home to Hudson founder Kohsuke Kawaguchi, for the fork. Oracle also assumed a slightly hurt tone. Prakash said the Hudson mailing lists and the github project were “being taken away” as a result of the fork.®

  • What Apps Did Gorillaz Use for Their iPad-Created Album? – iSmashPhone iPhone Blog
    A while back, we all heard that animated supergroup Gorillaz (or their real-life counterparts) were working on a new album. Interestingly, the album was being created almost entirely on an iPad while the band was on tour. Well, that album is now available for listening at the band's official website. While creating music on an iPad is nothing entirely new (as shown by these fine musicians) the fact that such a high-profile band chose to go that route is pretty cool.

  • Running a competition | OUT-LAW.COM by Pinsent Masons LLP
    Under the Gambling Act 2005, a competition will not be a lottery if it satisfies the "skill" test or if no payment is required to enter. Under the old law, the skill test was satisfied if winning depended "to a substantial degree on the exercise of skill" – "substantial skill" was not required. Under the Gambling Act 2005 the test is whether the person organising the competition has a reasonable expectation that the skill requirement will either deter a significant proportion of potential participants from entering or prevent a significant proportion of entrants from receiving a prize.

    Podcasting Legal Guide: Rules for the Revolution
    The phenomenon of podcasting has been much analyzed, explained and undertaken. Technically, podcasting has been described as “the distribution of audio or video files, such as radio programs or music videos, over the internet using either RSS or Atom syndication for listening on mobile devices and personal computers.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcasting) More broadly, podcasting has been heralded as “the medium that promises a future where anyone can make radio, instead of just listen to it.” (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.03/curry.html)
