PADL Software

A little off our usual Symas and OpenLDAP path but related. As SlashDotted this morning, we found the article Is there Really an IT labor shortage? in Baselilne Magazine quite important and well written.
We agree with the article's premise. There's no shortage. But given enough time, management will create one. (more)

Neil Wilson on Sun's new 6.0 release. Clever title. Thought-provoking piece. I'll let the smart ones in the group play with the potential flaws in this logic. (more)

Well, this popped up in an email from one of the founders. The bottom line: The Virus-Detection community thinks its counterproductive for someone to create test data (viruses) and run them against their detectors and maybe find bugs.
"The Expert" complains that these vendors do a lousy job with the many "new malware programs released every day" ... of course, neither "The Expert" nor the writer draws the obvious conclusion that some are just the kind fo thing that those dastardly time-wasters at Consumer Reports created. Oh well.
More rant below the fold, as it were ... (more)

On the Counterpunch Web site, a blog posting titled Outsourcing Engineering: the Death of US Engineering. Grim reading from an economist. It's no mystery to those of us in the technology business. (more)

The Washington Post reports on the annual report card of the Department of Homeland Defense in the article DHS Gets Another F in Computer Security. 'Nuff said?
This is Enterprise Identity and Authorization Management. It is the kind of thing that Sun's or IBM's or HP's Identity Management (IAM) solutions are supposed to address. Obviously, either the technology can't do the job or these departments aren't stepping up to the plate. Much of what they're apparently being criticized for is stuff you have to do to prepare for rolling out IAM software, so maybe that's part of the problem. (more)

Just a nice piece over at cNet about Novell's latest revelations about the state of their business and especially the 31% year on year growth of SuSE Linux revenues. Lots more copies of OpenLDAP. Makes us at Symas happy for them and Linux and its community. Via SlashDot.

On The Virtual Qull, this cute entry on how LDAP is as permanently integrated into the fabric of computer technology as COBOL. Just an FYI.

Slashdot ran this entry pointing to an article on Ted Ts'o's blog about an aspect of Sun's approach to "Open Source". The folks at Symas just thought you'd want to think about it. (more)

Gavin posted Symas OpenLDAP 2.4 Beta Available ... which it is. We're all pretty happy about that here at Symas and the OpenLDAP Project.

No further comment necessary 
... this "speaks" for itself.
Jordan thinks they protest too much.
