OpenSourcing Yourself, Are You Ready? 191
An anonymous reader writes "Many people love and use open source software. Open source has made an impact in just about every place imaginable; education, hardware, coke, beer, cell phones, pharmaceuticals, search engines and encyclopedias. However, OpenHuman takes it one step further and invites you to open source yourself to experiment with the open human idea. This may sound crazy and rife with privacy concerns but as the author asks, do you still believe in Internet privacy in the age of blogs, MySpace, LinkedIn, Meetup, and Flickr?"

"...do you still believe in Internet privacy in the age of blogs, MySpace, LinkedIn, Meetup, and Flickr?"
Yes I do. Of course, I make very sparing use of those technologies, and I post AC at Slashdot.
I would consider opensourcing myself, but I'm afraid I'd be immediately forked.

Now with my mistress, I have to stick to the LGPL, or Limited GNU Public License, since that's a more discreet relationship and I can't require her to divulge all her private information. The LGPL only requires documentation of who she is, how other guys can get in touch with her, and the details of how I "link" her.
(That was a joke! Hi honey!)

The trouble is that the derivative works are now starting to think about creating next-gen derivatives which has me sort of worried about whether they'll respect the ideals of the community or if they'll become sellouts like Novell...
Oh, well, I suppose we'll just have to wait and see...

Ok, so you can make a nice looking page using Frontpage, but for some reason it seems to be the source of many bad pages. And, while it would be nice to think that Frontpage is dying a much deserved death, its mostly just getting a name change. Office 2007 has Microsoft Office Sharepoint Designer 2007, which is the successor to Frontpage. One can only hope that no one notices it, and the few who do are scared off by the whole "Sharepoint" bit in the name.
I swear, if I have to work on one more Frontpage generated page, I'm going to kill someone. The code that it spits out is a mess, and trying to work with CSS in Frontpage is akin to having your testicles in a vice.

Seriously. After joining the open source movement, I have encountered more free beer than ever before.
