Recently O’Reilly’s Graphing Social Patterns 2008 conference wrapped up in San Diego, CA,

The other day I was asked about what is Enterprise 2.0? The simple answer is embedded in Web 2.0.

In Open Source development projects one of the factors is to have a clear thinking

After weeks of hard work, planning and running around, the day has finally arrived. We managed to get a good pool of tracks, workshops and speakers. Special thanks to CLUG (Shawn, John, Kin and Sam) for doing most of the leg work, and being an integral part of the planning committee. These are a special bunch of people, and I admire their passion for open source. SAIT (Mo and Harvey) our biggest partners, shares an equal open source vision with us and really came forward with open arms to help …

I’ve updated the blog, and added some pages. This overhaul has been due for quite some time. Moving from Blogger to WP is a painful experience right now, and have not moved everything what I wanted to. Don’t understand why Google isn’t paying any attention towards fixing blogger interface and connectors. Or they are in the process of becoming another Microsoft. Anyhow, it’ll be a while before I get all my entries transferred over.Let the comments come in!

Recently the organizing committee put together a sponsorship package for the event, and I think this is the best way to describe this event -
COSSFest 2007 is an exposition of open source technologies, welcoming new voices, tools and projects that will accompany established operating systems, platforms, languages and applications that started the open source movement.

Finally COSG (Calgary Open Source Group) has a logo, and it’s exciting to learn that the response to the group has been absolutely wonderful with 28 members and growing in past couple of weeks. And now COSG is associated in organizing and sponsoring (one of ‘the’) the One Day Calgary Open Source Festival on Oct 27 called COSSFEST’07. We already have some confirmed session speakers and presentations and more are being signed up. I’ve been keeping myself busy in naming this festival and doing bunch of couple of other …

I am just blown away by the latest iWork’08 and the very new Numbers application by Apple. Is Apple the only company in the world which packages innovation, style, class and value for money all in one? I’m also amazed to see the enhancements made to iLife’08. Shouldn’t all the companies be innovative and creative like Apple?
The other day I spent a good 30 minutes to understand the basics of latest Office’07. And I must admit that I was amazed with the styling but really what a mess! It took …

I recently created Calgary Open Source Group (COSG). You can learn more about the group and its objectives at http://calgaryos.ning.com. The idea is to bring a flavor of Open Source into the Oil City. There is tons of proprietary stuff happening here, but I think its important to learn & experience for Calgary’s large technology community and companies about the open source software and revolution.
Feedbacks are welcome.
