Episode 280 – Solo Maintainer OSS Projects @Risk!

Roaring Elephant ·

2022/01/18

A cry for help or wanton vandalism by Open Source Project maintainers? Last week, the maintainer of the popular NPM package manager was responsible for breaking compatibility far and wide. As it turns out, this was a cry for attention for the plights of small but important OSS projects that are used widely by "Billion Dollar mega corporations" while the few (or even single) maintainers are merely scraping by to pay the bills. A little bit of research proves that this is far from a solitary issue

Cloud Computing is everywhere and apparently more companies feel it's a good idea to claim a piece of that fluffy pie.

Episode 276 – IBM Fails @ Open Source Cloud?

Roaring Elephant ·

2021/12/21

When we saw IBM put up a "Guide to open source development in the Cloud" website, we were expecting so much.... And we got so little... While we've often lauded IBM for their open source initiatives, this "guide" reads incomplete and pretty much a waste of space. See if you agree with us?

Episode 266 – Best Enterprise Communication Choices

Roaring Elephant ·

2021/10/12

Email as a fundamental way of communication in your enterprise may be much maligned and despised, however, ditching email altogether, as some Internet sources would like you to do is definitely not the best path forwards. At least we don't think so. A better way, possibly even the best way forward, is to use tools for the purpose they are built. Tools that are a good fit for real time communications, are not fit for other, slower communication channels. Please use the Contact
