[image: O'Reilly OSCON - Newsletter Header] Greetings Developers, Microsoft announced their new subscription model for Office this week, dubbed Office 365. Adobe has been offering a similar servicefor a while, allowing Creative Suite users to have the latest versions of the software for a monthly fee. As more software integrates into the cloud, or moves entirely to online versions, pay-as-you-go is gaining ground. Of course, it also does an end-run around the doctrine of first sale, since you won't be actually purchasing software anymore?merely renting it. *But is subscription software what the users want?* We'd like to hear your thoughts.

A record number of you responded, forcing us to revert to math. *Ubuntu* was the massive overall fave, receiving three times as many votes as the second runner?up, *Mint*. Next was good old *Debian*, with *Open Suse * and *Arch Linux* in a tie for fourth place. Those with negligible (but fanatic) support included *KNOPPIX*, *Crunchbang*, *Gentoo*, *Mandriva*, * Xubuntu*, *Fedora*, *Scientific Linux*, and *Slackware*. The overwhelming majority of you wrote several impassioned paragraphs describing your bestest love and the reasons why. It made for great reading! Here is just the smallest sampling. "I would love to run pure Debian but am running Ubuntu for the cohesion of the interface," says *Keith*. "Without a doubt it's Ubuntu," echoes *GQ Lewis*, who explains, "It is simply the most intuitive of the Linux variations that I've used, and I have easily tried 10 or more. That's what has been most impressive about it to me." "Ubuntu," pronounces *Charlie*, "because I've found it the easiest to install and manage without having to sweat the details." "I would like to put in a strong second vote in for Puppy Linux," says *Michael O'Grady*. "Brings older machines back to life and is pretty snappy." "Crunchbang takes up virtually no space and runs like greased lightning," says *Stefan*. "Straight to the chase: Arch Linux," says *Nick*. "Clear and comprehensive documentation, simple and lightweight architecture, and an insanely elegant package manager. For the first time in my digital life, things 'just work.' What's not to love?" ------------------------------ tail -f /dev/newsletter All Good Things Must End [image: Cheating Phones]Cheatin' Hearts When shopping for a cell phone, most people look at battery life, voice quality, and perhaps what apps it can run. But for a segment of the Japanese cell phone consumer market, the most important factor is how well it can hide your cheating ways . The wily and promiscuous evidently swear by the Fujistu 'F' series phones, clunky awkward flip phones that look like some weird invention from the late '90s. But, magic can be ugly. The handsets include a mode that hides texts and call history on demand, allowing philandering Don Juanabees to carry on several secret lives.

Your response was swift, large, and uniform: No. (Except for those who said yes.) "It would solve. . . what I like to call 'the incidental Photoshopper' problem," offers *Jan*, who adds, "wouldn't it be nice to be able to use the full featured product only once in a while, without having to actually buy it? Pay as you go, software as a service, such things could help make that possible." [image: Value] "It is the old batch vs. real-time processing issue gone financial," muses * Karen*. *Michael* fairly shouts, "I have no intention of ever subscribing to Microsoft's server-based applications. I don't use their products at all?that's what Open Office is for!" "I just don't like the idea that I can lose the ability to generate content because I no longer want to pay a monthly or annual subscription fee," says *Rodney*. "I prefer the older software licensing model where the software continues to work so long as you have a computer that can run it." Reasoning both sides, *Patrick* concludes that "the model makes a lot of sense, particularly as software is more of an avenue to provide a service than a product." But we'll give *Nate* the last (vociferous) word as he exemplifies the majority response. "Subscription software model?" he spits. "Absolutely not! I hate the idea from every conceivable angle." ------------------------------ tail -f /dev/newsletter All Good Things Must End May the Crowdfunding Be With You [image: Open Source Death Star]The White House's refusal to considerto establish a Death Star has left some enterprising geeks undaunted. Naturally, they've turned to KickStarterto seek the funds needed to construct a moon-like battle fortress. With a ?20,000,000 budget just to develop plans, and only 1% funded, it's unlikely to fund before time runs out. But fear not! The Rebel Alliance seeks to develop a fleet of X-Wing fightersto keep the balance of power even. Compared to the Death Star's budget, the X-Wing armada seems like a real bargain at just $11 million. Both projects claim to be open source, but only the Death Star takes questions. *Q:** Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the downfall of the first Death Star due to open source plans?* *A:* No, the first Death Stars was closed source and the theft of the plans resulting in the loss of many Bothan lives. Had the previous Death Star plans been more open, someone might have spotted the obvious design flaw. We believe that an open source project is safer, cheaper, and better for everyone.

Is >there some other convention to follow here? Well, IIRC, that left me stranded when working from the distributed tarball -- no option but to delete everything and unpack a new copy. Generally, I would expect 'clean' to only reverse the action of 'build'. That's in line with this description of 'clean': https://metacpan.org/module/Module::Build#ACTIONS Of course, 'realclean' and 'distclean' still maybe don't cover swig generated files (what about output from .PL files?) - 'squeakyclean'? http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.makemaker/2005/04/msg2220.html Or just make it conditional on `-e '.git'`? --Eric -- --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com --------------------------------------------------- From jonathan at leto.net Mon Feb 25 21:01:37 2013 From: jonathan at leto.net (Jonathan "Duke" Leto) Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:01:37 -0800 Subject: [Pdx-pm] Full-time Perl gig in PDX Message-ID: Howdy, If you are an experienced Perl developer looking for a full-time gig in Portland, feel free to send me a message off-list.
