EU Publishes Open Source Migration Guidelines

Skunil writes "The IDA Open Source Migration Guidelines provide practical and detailed recommendations on how to migrate to Open Source Software (OSS)-based office applications, calendaring, e-mail and other standard applications. These guidelines have been designed to help public administrators decide whether a migration to OSS should be undertaken and describe, in broad technical terms, how such a migration could be carried out. They are based on practical experience of a limited number of publicly available case studies, and cover a wide range of management and technical concerns."

  2. Linux : Penguin Sex howto (Socre:5, Informative) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Ted and David made their way into the lab where the animal experiments were conducted. A cute, fuzzy penguin had caught their eye...

    The evil duo quickly subdued the little lab penguin. They strapped the now helpless animal's head to the sex table with hot leather. David had the urge, and removed his pants, which were now bulging. After slipping off his briefs, David tightly fastened the leather straps and was ready to begin.......

    David began to "grease up". Shoving endless amounts of Vaseline and baby oil all around the penguin's ass, he slid his purple head firmly into the penguin's tight asshole. Even though the penguin was slightly unconscious, screams of pain were constantly being emitted. Ted reached for the chain whip and smacked the penguin's soft nose until its face was soaked with blood. Now, with the penguins head drooped over the edge of the table, David continued his sex hunt. His now tingling cock was pushed deeper and deeper through the thick layers of skin which covered the bowel tract. Five, six, seven, then finally all eight and 3/4 inches were plunged deep within the animal's love canal.

    David's manhood tingled with every slight movement of the now half alive penguin. He began rhythmically sliding in and out, moaning with pleasure on every thrust. David worked himself into a hot orgasm. The blood, now coming steadily out of the penguin's ass with every thrust of David's pelvis, could be heard dripping on the floor. David's rate increased and with a final push, he spurted creamy white love gel far up into the penguin's bleeding ass.

    The blood and cum mixed together on the floor, which had now accumulated a large puddle. Unknown to David, the semen had acted as a powerful enema for the penguin and out ushered the contents of its intestine. The stool was loose and soft. It fell to the ground with a soft thud and broke into small pieces. The obnoxious smell caught David's attention, and no sooner had he fallen to the ground and began licking the large puddle of blood, sperm, and stool. Exited at David's enthusiasm, Ted dropped to his knees and also began to slurp the foul mixture.

    After cleaning the floor with their tongues, David and Ted checked on the battered lab penguin. It was barely able to hold its head up, as it had lost control of most of its motor functions. Feeling no pity for this sexually mistreated animal, they unstrapped it and tossed it across the room, only to make a loud and deep thud against the wall. Its blood soaked fur left spatters of red stains everywhere it touched. Its bodily fluids freely surged across the tiled floor.

    Then with a look of extreme satisfaction, both David and Ted lit up some smokes, gathered their belongings and quietly left the hospital ground.

    However, it looks to me that any useful part of this article is buried in beauraucrateese, yes it's a word. However, it's a start, I just worry about whether it's in the right direction. The Linux community as a whole should make sure that the direction is "free" software and not simply "open-source" software. For this, the FreeBSD license is the best. I know that I'll be using it for anything and everything I can in the future.

      Isn't FreeBSD released under the BSD license? If you want free software rather than open source, Linux is the way to go, its under the GPL.

      No, I'm in the UK, and while the US system is shit, the EU is a complete joke; destroying all sovereignty and handing it over to Brussels, where your country can be dictated to by people you haven't even elected, I don't want some German telling me what laws to abide by.

      The worst thing is, you can't even leave the EU under their current constitution which is a fucking joke.

  8. FreeBSD is a failure by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Sure, we all know that FreeBSD is a failure, but why? Why did FreeBSD fail? Once you get past the fact that *BSD is fragmented between a myriad of incompatible kernels, there is the historical record of failure and of failed operating systems. *BSD experienced moderate success about 15 years ago in academic circles. Since then it has been in steady decline. We all know *BSD keeps losing market share but why? Is it the problematic personalities of many of the key players? Or is it larger than their troubled personas?

    The record is clear on one thing: no operating system has ever come back from the grave. Efforts to resuscitate *BSD are one step away from spiritualists wishing to communicate with the dead. As the situation grows more desperate for the adherents of this doomed OS, the sorrow takes hold. An unremitting gloom hangs like a death shroud over a once hopeful *BSD community. The hope is gone; a mournful nostalgia has settled in. Now is the end time for *BSD.
