05.04.08How to start Open BlueDragon in MacOS XNow you have downloaded the Open BlueDragon Jetty Ready2Start package and read the Read-Me and you get errors trying to start it that looks like this: sh-3.2# java -Mx512M -jar start.jar Unrecognized option: -Mx512M Could not create the Java virtual machine. It looks like that MacOS X handles this a little bit different. Thus you will want to start it with the following commands: java -jar -Xmx512M start.jar

04.29.08Reasons why the iPhone is no BlackBerryOver at the crackberry.com they posted a very good comparison of the BlackBerry and the iPhone. This should help people to decide what device they ant to get. Note: This is a pro BlackBerry site so take some comments not to seriously. On a side note: I have been using a BlackBerry for over a year now (first a 7xxx one and now a Curve) and I have to say I like the Curve a lot. Currently I am using a Nokia N95, which is also a good phone, but compared to a BlackBerry it just can't scope. Especially the battery ...

04.29.08Moving and throwing awayAbout two weeks ago my son, wife and myself moved into our new house. As everyone who is familiar with moving knows, the "how-to" move and getting "rid of stuff" is a very important process. Up until now, I made it a habit that every time I had to move (up until now I moved approximately every one and a half years, don't ask I just never felt "like home") I will throw away stuff that I did not touch or used within the last six months. So, today way one of these days again, where I went into our old apartment ...

04.15.08Open BlueDragon Steering Committee Interview with Sean Corfield and our open source Digital Media and Web Content Management SystemAnd another well done interview by Alan Williamson on members of the Steering Committee. This time it hit Sean Corfield. We especially like this part of his interview where he was asked his opinion on CFML, open source and the community; "The CFML community is definitely getting better in this area but open source is still a very new concept for the vast majority of them. Many developers have released code in source form but for the most part those offerings have not really been "open source" - no way to build a community, no clear licensing, no public ...

04.13.08SixSigns announces Roozani - Your Information Management ToolMost people have thousands of information like serial numbers, passwords, images, documents (Word, Excel, PDF, etc.), bookmarks and notes sitting on their hard drive. The vast majority of those information isn't indexed for searching or even tagged. Say you want to find the note that is about last weeks meeting? Or you need to find the document containing your agreement with a partner? Or most probably you are not sitting in front of your computer and you desperately need to have a password (or any information by that matter) while you are on the go. The problem is obvious, but so far ...

04.01.08The AGPL in simple wordsSince we have announced that we are going to open source our Digital Asset Management under the Affero General Public License (AGPL) we have had some questions about the licensing, meaning what the AGPL exactly is. The place to start is with the "ASP loophole" in popular open source licenses, including the GPLv3. Under the GPL, of course, if you distribute software you must distribute the source. But what if you're an application service provider - someone who provides a service over the web using open source software? In that case, you're not distributing the software, and you don't have to ...

03.28.08Open Source and the futureFrom a survey during the latest InfoWorld Open Source conference: "...Respondents indicated that they like the low price that open source offers. But open source was attractive for more than its low price: Respondents also indicated that they like to have access to the source code, as well as freedom from being locked into a single vendor. This means that customers do see a difference between "free of charge" and "open source," and are likely to prefer open-source solutions even when they are offered commercial products for little or no cost..." "...Perhaps the most revealing statistic was the answer to the question, ...

03.27.08SixSigns announces free open source Enterprise Media Asset ManagementSixSigns is announcing today that we have plans to release our Enterprise Media Asset Management (MAM) as a free open source edition (based on ColdFusion). Our MAM system has been previously deployed as a licensed system and is currently in use by over 70 organizations. Our plan has always been to release the system as a open source solution, but it only made sense since New Atlanta's announcement of releasing BlueDragon as open source last week. As said, we are still in the planning of the open source edition, but here is a summary: The MAM system will be released under the ...

03.14.08Blue Dragon J2EE Open Source Edition differenceNy now, most of the people heard about New Atlanta's "soon to be released" Open Source release of the Blue Dragon J2EE Edition. Actually we are very excited about it, as we are soon going to announce one of our major products to be released as Open Source as well. A lot of people have wondered what will not be included in the Open Source Edition and Vince Bonfanti has now released a statement which outlines the major changes of the commercial edition and the Open Source edition. Here is the statement: [Quote] There will be three differences between the commericial and open ...

02.09.08Moving Wordpress installation from Windows Server 2003 to LinuxWe just finished moving our blog (the one you are reading now) from Windows Server 2003 to CentOS 5. The switch included a couple of steps, but was rather easy: Install CentOS with Apache, PHP and MySQL. CentOS does install Apache 2.2.3, PHP 5.1.6 and MySQL 5.0.22 by default. Make sure to "yum update" to get the latest stable packages. Make a backup of all your Wordpress database on the original server. To do this we used the excellent "wp-db-backup". Just backup all of your tables and download it to your machine. You will then have a backup.sql file. Create a database ...

For us at Sixsigns we will be releasing our brand new platform really soon. We have been keeping it under the hood now for some time, but will be in public beta real soon. Actually we all can't wait to let you on the application. That said, we took the time over the last 2 days to move our Blog to a new engine. We have been thinking a long time about what to use and decided on Wordpress.org. So far, ...
