Slashdot Mirror
IBM Jazz Edges Closer To Open Source
hhavensteincw writes "IBM is molding its Jazz technology, which helps software development teams collaborate, in the image of its popular Eclipse open source community. IBM said that today's move to open access to its Jazz.net portal to anyone to peruse its code, access bug lists, etc. puts it on the path to completely open-source the Jazz technology."
...when Jazz vertices and faces are also close to Open Source.
That the word "Jazz" comes from creole sexual slang "come jazz me up".
It is also past tense form of "jizz".
How times change...
This is what I love about Slashdot.
:)
People are lazy and don't read the article (hey, this is Slashdot - that's how it has always been).
People are not too lazy to post "what the fuck is this about?" even though they don't read it.
Other people complain about people not reading the article.
Those same people then copy and paste or explain what it is, while complaining that people are too lazy to read the article.
Then, OTHER people mod-up the people who are complaining about and enabling the lazy people to continue being more lazy by posting the info directly in a post for them.
That's why this is home.
Yes, it's the fine art of the executive summary, but you aren't supposed to tell anyone.
Under the influence of Post-Cyberpunk Gonzo Journalism
OMG PONIES!!!
i'd hit it so hard, if you pulled me out you'd be the king of britain [bash.org]
is IBM Jazz released on the Big Blue Note label?
One swallow does not a fellatrix make
Everyone is asking what it is. When did we get so lazy?
Looooong ago. This led to a lot of people missing out on really
interesting infoprmation. But then Slashdot was invented, to
help us lazy humans and make it easier to handle the flow
of information, by giving us hints about which current articles
might be interesting to us, in a single easy-to-scan place, and
get this, _before_ we read them.
BRILLIANT!
Some posters though, fail to grasp this fundamental point of
slashdot in its entirety. What they think it's for, and what they
seek to accomplish by posting without this insight is really
beyond my comprehension, but they clearly do exist in copious
numbers.
But thank you for fixing it with a proper summary. Now I know that 'jazz'
is a jumble of meaningless buzzwords and marketspeak.
sudo ergo sum
I read the article. I still don't know what the hell it is...
...richie - It is a good day to code.
