Open source, ecosystems, and life forms
I just ran across an interesting post of David Shields' called New Life Forms in the Open-Source Ecosystem: Redmonk, Mellon Foundation, And Some Newbies. I like the way David talks about "new life-forms" appearing in an open source ecosystem as a way to track (and measure) the progress of open source. He goes on to talk about a few of the project's I'm very involved in, and about a Licensing Summit we held in Indianapolis which is where I met David. A lot has happened since that Summit David. I blogged recently with a bit of an explanation of where the Sakai and Kuali communities are today WRT licensing.

Chris,
I meant to include rSmart in the post but forgot to do so, and I apologize for that.
I'm busy now writing as much as I can about the OLPC XO laptop, since I believes it will prove revolutionary, particularly in its impact on education on a global scale, and I want to get the word out now while they can be had under the "Give 1 Get 1" program.
However, I do plan to write a post about rSmart, especially your work, for example, to provide education via Sakai in China, as you presented at Sixth Sakai last December.
Feel free to start pinging me relentlessly in early 2008, after " Give 1 Get 1" ends, to make sure I do write that post.
thanks,dave
