Review: Not a WASTE of effort
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/2315227
- by Lee Schlesinger - Nullsoft last month released Waste, an application "designed to permit secure distributed collaboration and communications for small trusted groups of users," according to the developers.

Schools still handing cash to Microsoft
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/19/1559204
Education Secretary Charles Clarke was last night under renewed pressure to close a loophole allowing computer giant Microsoft to charge schools thousands of pounds for using its software. As heads in Norfolk battle to cope with a £700,000 budget shortfall, and with almost 100 posts forecast to be axed, Bill Gates' company is still making a mint by charging schools up to £15,000 to use products such as Microsoft Office.

Recently, an article published in OSNews by Joshua Boyles entitled "The Edge Computing System" captured my attention. This led me to publish my own article entitled "The Next Big Thing? Open Peripheral Hardware Connectivity." I appreciate all the feedback, but I feel that there is still a certain amount of confusion concerning what I was proposing.

A look behind the scenes and OSS in Texas: why is the media ignoring it and how did Houston buck the system? Texas state agencies spend more than $450 million annually on information technology, not counting staffing costs and purchases from local or federal funds.
