Cloudscape Gains Momentum

Posted by Hemos on from the ibms-big-move dept.

A reader writes: "There's been a lot of bits written recently about the growth of Open Source databases; as well as IBM's patent gift, as their release of the Java database Cloudscape. There's a contest running on SourceForge.net around Cloudscape; download and run with it." SF.net is part of OSTG, like Slashdot.

  1. Here is a swell idea! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Lets see how many open source projects we can get going at one time to compete against one another with absolutely no standardization! YESSSS!

    But seriously -- this is getting out of hand. If every single company, individual, etc. starts an open source project what does that accomplish? Nothing. It brings about 100 different alternatives to the market most of which would never be viable in a commercial environment.

    News flash: devote time and effort to succesful projects that extend the reach of the open source community. Another open source database project is just well... another project.
