“This chapter is a short, casual introduction to Subversion…” This

eWeek: SCO Loses Attempt to Move Novell Case to State Court
SCO has taken a serious hit here, according to eWeek, Groklaw and Slashdot. Good. Let’s get this over with, and get back to work. Groklaw is exuberant: “Remember all the experts who told us SCO might win this? They were mistaken.” and “I love this judge” and ” This just isn’t SCO’s day.”

Subversion: The new-generation CVS. Software development is an iterative process that … [OSNews]
Subversion is hot stuff, a clean re-implementation built on the ideas
of CVS but with the added features to support better multi-file
versioning, remote access and improved security. I’ve got clients
running on Windows, Linux and OS X, and plan to move my main repository
there soon.

SAX Processing in Python
OSNews links to this great article on SAX processing in Python on DevChannel by Derek Fountain:
An
application developer can choose any one of a number of strategies to read and use an XML
document. In some very simple examples a script containing a
number of regular expressions might do the job, but normally
a more rigorous technique is required. The Simple API for XML
(SAX) is one of the two key techniques for analysing and processing
XML documents (the other is the more complicated Document Object Model (DOM)).

MS-Funded Alexis de Toqueville Institution Attacks Linus, Probably Making Itself a Laughingstock
Groklaw reports: MS-Funded Alexis de Toqueville Institution Attacks Linus, Probably Making Itself a Laughingstock
“Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water. . . more FUD attacks.”
“This is so stupid I think we need a parody done by Scott Lazar. But
I’ll do my best to tell you the news with a straight face. The Alexis
de Toqueville Institution, who as you may recall admitted it gets funding from Microsoft,
has put out a press release on a “study” they have done that suggests
that Linus isn’t the father of Linux after all. Another “independent”
study with Microsoft peeking out from behind the curtain.”
“It’s
good when you are opposed by Larry and Moe. How dumb do you need to be
to attack Linus Torvalds? As I’ve said before, it’s like kicking
Dorothy’s little dog, Toto. All you get for your trouble is a lot of
really offended folks who seriously dislike you and all your
supporters.”
Microsoft Needs Geek Appeal
Microsoft Needs Geek Appeal. “I thought I had a pretty good handle on the differences between the
open-source community and the traditional proprietary approach to
software development.

camps–not just in business strategy but in fundamental philosophy and
political bent.” Read the full article on ZDNet. Link posted via OSNews
