An analysis of several Forrester surveys, by Forrester analyst Jeffrey Hammond, was recently published in Dr.Dobb's online (www.ddj.com). The analysis compares what developers say about their work environments with what their IT managers think is going on.

A recent Forrester research noted that 40% of the developers in Europe use Subversion. At CollabNet, we have been pegging worldwide Subversion usage somewhere between 4-5M, so it was interesting to get an external survey to validate our own projections.

One of the stalwarts of Subversion, Ben Collins-Sussman (a Googler and former CollabNetizen), remarks Not that this should shock anybody, but in case you didn’t know, now you do.

A lot of people have asked me to explain the difference between "open core" and "open infrastructure"–don't they both mean "open-sourcing the basic stuff"?

Commenting on the differences between the business models of Red Hat and Acquia, Matt Asay really nails a point: there's value to be added by a company simply packaging and redistributing open-source work, but it's greatest where there's intimidating complexity to be managed.

This weekend I attended the Community Leadership Summit in San Jose. Before it even started, I had an interesting discussion with Jack Repenning and a man who was investigating various community models for a homeschooling organization he's working for.

In the echo chamber of developer tools, a hot topic these days is "distributed vs. central version control." The debate has an unfortunate tendency to polarize into "developer vs. organization," which of course doesn't really help anyone at all. WANdisco's Jim Campigli, writing as "SubversionMan" (jeez, Jim: show a little respect for the nearly one thousand committers and other [...]
