ABD’de ]s dunyasina acik-kaynak destegi saglamak icin bir girisim GL: One-stop support for Open Source Software in businesses [23 June 2006] http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/en/document/5671/469

ABD’de OpenLogic firmasi Acik Kaynak dünyasindan uzmanlari bir araya getirerek, acik kaynak yazilimlari kullanan is dunyasina profesyonel uzman destegini ticari olarak sunmayi planliyor. Firma bu girisimi ile Acik Kaynak gelistiriler ile Acik kaynagi kullanan is dunyasi arasinda bir kopru kurmak istiyor. Bu amacla acik kaynak gelistiriler, uzmanlar bir araya gelerek, 150 yazilim grubunda is dunyasinin kuruma ozgu problemlerine destek olacaklar.

The US-based company, OpenLogic, is bringing together experts

from the Open Source community in its "Expert Community" program to provide professional support, on a commercial basis, to businesses running Open Source Software. With this initiative OpenLogic is going beyond normal support levels and is creating a win-win offering for independent Open Source developers and Open Source business users.

Acik Kaynak cesitligi daha iyi guvenlik sagliyor GL: Open Source diversity brings better security [23 June 2006] http://ec.europa.eu/idabc/en/document/5670/469 Anti-virus yazilimi üreten Tend Micro acik kaynak yazılımlarinin çeşitliligin onu daha güvenilir yaptigini söyledi. Yazilim uzerind epek çok kisinin kontrolunun olmasi, bu kisilerin hizlica koda mudahele etmesine olanak sagliyor. Çok fazla farkli dagitimin olmasi, potansiyel bir problemin yayilmasini zorlastiiryor, ve onun kesilmesine olanak sagliyor. Bir yandan yamalar hizlica bulunuyor, ve bunlar isin kaynagina cekirdege kadar giderek, tum dagitimlarda iyilestirme olanagi sagliyor.

Open Source Software is diverse and therefore it is more secure, claims Trend Micro an antivirus software manufacturer. One reason for this belief is the variety of Linux distributions which makes the spread of a malicious virus more difficult, and containment easier.

The goals of this workshop are to provide:

*Hands-on tutorials for new users,

*Forums for users, would-be users, and developers to exchange ideas and experiences,

*Case-studies of research and business uses, and

*Discussions on the future direction and shape of open-source in operations research.
