type='text'>Open Source: a new software development paradigm or something simpler</title><content type='html'>First of all and before you start thinking I'm against Open Source: I have been working with Open Source software since 1995 and I'm quite a big fan, but that doesn't stop me from thinking on reality and business&lt;br /&gt;From my latest readings these weeks I have come out with this &lt;i&gt;big&lt;/i&gt; question: Is Open Source a new software development paradigm or is it just something &lt;i&gt;simpler&lt;/i&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;While having a chat with some colleagues and thinking a bit further afterwards, I have just felt in what I think is the obvious answer.&lt;br /&gt;Open Source is not a software development paradigm, it is much more a kind of license or set of licenses plus some philosophy behind. Actually it relays on other software paradigms; Open Source software is usually developed using eXtreme Programming or Agile methodologies that facilitates distributed development and enable fast prototyping.&lt;br /&gt;What does it mean for me?&lt;br /&gt;Easy, Open Source affects much more to the way we do business than to the way we develop software.&lt;br /&gt;Of course it impacts on traditional software development, but it is important in other way than in software development paradigms; it affects quite a lot in the development of those methodologies I've mentioned (XP, Agile...) as well as COTS based development, but &lt;i&gt;just&lt;/i&gt; there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you think? Are you an Open Source fan willing to flame me?&lt;br /&gt;Do you agree with this vision?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7243175-108880148636175124?l=azaceta.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://azaceta.blogspot.com/feeds/108880148636175124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7243175&amp;postID=108880148636175124' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7243175/posts/default/108880148636175124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7243175/posts/default/108880148636175124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://azaceta.blogspot.com/2004/07/open-source-new-software-development.html' title='Open Source: a new software development paradigm or something simpler'/><author><name>Asier</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00333119287791782895</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243175.post-108693800441307766</id><published>2004-06-11T09:13:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-06-11T09:15:58.003+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Bacterial Integrated Circuits</title><content type='html'>I have read this article at NASA science site, regarding the use of bacteria for detecting dangers before human do in an hostile environment such as space.

It's easy to see a canary's reaction. But how can you can you tell what a microbe's feeling" How can you coax a microbe to communicate?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One way is to interface it to a silicon chip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;University of Tennessee microbiologist Gary Sayler and his colleagues have developed a device that uses chips to collect signals from specially altered bacteria. The researchers have already used these devices, known as BBICs, or Bioluminescent Bioreporter Integrated Circuits, to track pollution on earth. Now, with the support of NASA's Office of Biological and Physical Research, they're designing a version for spaceships. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Glowing colonies of microbes&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/images/bbics/glow2.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--- cut-cut-cut ---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See complete article at &lt;A HREF="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/10jun_bbics.htm?list1166623"&gt; Science@NASA&lt;/A&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7243175-108693800441307766?l=azaceta.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://azaceta.blogspot.com/feeds/108693800441307766/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7243175&amp;postID=108693800441307766' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7243175/posts/default/108693800441307766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7243175/posts/default/108693800441307766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://azaceta.blogspot.com/2004/06/bacterial-integrated-circuits.html' title='Bacterial Integrated Circuits'/><author><name>Asier</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00333119287791782895</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7243175.post-10867770405990179</id><published>2004-06-09T12:30:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2004-06-09T15:33:08.340+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Barrapunto | Nace la web "musicalibre"</title><content type='html'>He leido esta noticia de Barrapunto, y me ha hecho recordar dónde termina nuestro dinero cada vez que pagamos por la musica.&lt;br /&gt;Creo firmemente que iniciativas como esta deben ser apoyadas por aquellos que se escudan (nos escudamos) en los royalties de la musica comercial para justificar el pirateo o el top manta.&lt;br /&gt;He aquí la noticia:&lt;br /&gt;----- cut-cut-cut -----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://barrapunto.com/article.pl?sid=04/06/08/1150226"&gt;Barrapunto | Nace la web "musicalibre"&lt;/a&gt;: "Me ha llamado la atención esta nota, que publico íntegramente en la página de esta historia.
