<b>Interop Systems:</b> " They're still pushing the view that open source products like [the Java application server] Geronimo or Mule ESB are just cheap tools for developers, but when users are ready to deploy they should upgrade to expensive IBM stuff like WebSphere.

<b>The Var Guy:</b> "During their early days, many open source companies didn’t want or need channel partners. Instead, they depending on direct sales as well as “community” members who assisted open source code development and product evangelism. That’s wonderful for a start-up. But growing up — and going global with localized support — requires VARs, integrators and managed service providers (MSPs)."

<b>Linux.com:</b> "Big Buck Bunny is the colorful product of the Peach open movie project: an animated short released online and on DVD. But in addition to the 'toon itself, Peach has produced an altogether different yield: improvements to the Blender 3-D modeling application. Like its predecessor Project Orange, Peach pushed the open source tool forward with the demands of a real-world media production, in a way that hobbyist usage cannot. Could other free software projects use the same model?"

While many Linux desktop users would just shrug off X.Org 7.4 as not being too relevant to them -- considering there aren't that many new blatant features -- if you're a faithful Phoronix reader you should already know about much of the recent driver work (especially on the ATI side) and Mesa advancements along with X Server fixes."
