Open Source Licensing and Governance
Earlier this year, arguments and debates raged about whether the open source model was doomed to fail in the 21st century economics of Software As A Service (SAAS). One thread of these discussions centered around the creation of a new type of license that could effectively preserve source code availability and author attribution while denying licensees some of the freedoms enjoyed by the authors, particularly the freedom to present a user interface distinct from so-called attribution.
I have weighed in on the question raised by so-called attribution licenses on license-discuss@opensource.org, but I have always been meaning to write down some thoughts on the flipside of those arguments, namely, how one existing license has brilliantly and effectively protected the three parties to the license--the authors, the users, and other developers--in spite of everything.

Telepresence - a new light on the communication horizon.
Just consider this scenario: decades back, we had the birth of telephone and the world started getting connected. Then came wireless communication and the world became still shorter. Afterwards came in the video conferencing and we thought, "Wow!"
It's time to say, "Wow!" again as we have a new technology called "Telepresence". Imagine not only talking with your friend in the US, but also feeling the new iPod he has recently bought. Or feeling the texture of his new and original ManU jersey. Surprised? This is exactly what telepresence has to offer.
Wikipedia says, "Telepresence refers to a set of technologies which allow a person to feel as if they were present, to give the appearance that they were present, or to have an effect, at a location other than their true location."
Imagine the plethora of opportunities it can open to the new world, where communication is crossing barriers hitherto unknown. Do a Google or visit http://www.cisco.com/en/US/netsol/ns669/networking_solutions_solution_segment_home.html for more.

My first post....
To start off with, let me post a poem of mine and then I'll continue with other posts that might qualify as gyan! Apart from all techie stuff, we all require something nice and warm like poetry. :)
Over six months ago
When I was feeling so lost,
You arrived just like springtime
And covered me like the morning frost.
Your sweet voice, your cute smile
Brought me back to life
That was when I sat and wondered
Would you really be my wife?
For four years, love eluded us
Now it bonds us so tight
That I think just about you
All day and all night!
Oh darling, you make me feel so special
When you shower me with your care
Never will I take for granted
The love that we both share
I'll always treasure and keep
The moments we spent together
I still remember each and every one
And always look forward for another
You've changed my life so much
I want to thank you aloud
You've taught me so gently
What love is all about
It hurts me so much
To see us both miles apart
But you're mine and only mine
So says my lover heart.
I've died a thousand times
In my dreams, searching for you.
But I'd die again if needed to
Just to let you know I love you!
Just to let you know I love you!
Himanshu.
P.S. : Can you suggest a title?
