Eclipse (Most Open), Android (Most Closed) Open Projects, Vision Mobile!

Eclipse (Most Open), Android (Most Closed) Open Projects, Vision Mobile! http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/
Looks like the project I am spending most time with these days (Android) and the tool I am using to work on the projects (Eclipse) have ended up in opposite ends of openness scale, according to a EU funded project. Finding this news just after learning about Mozilla org's B3G, Boot to Gecko project, confuses me greatly. Yet I think Android is much better than those 100% closed projects such as iOS and Windows phone 7.
The recently published Open Governance Index, by Vision Mobile, a study which was partly funded by webinos, an EU-funded project working on a platform for web applications across mobile, PC, home media (TV) and in-car devices.
The report is available for download free of charge and examines;

  • Open source cultural roots and working upstream vs downstream
  • Open source licenses vs governance models
  • Analysis and classification of governance models
  • In-depth reviews of Android, Qt, Symbian, MeeGo, Mozilla, WebKit, Linux and Eclipse
  • Best practices in creating an open source project

Firefox With Twitter, Or Just Get The Search Bar Add-on


Firefox With Twitter, http://snapvoip.blogspot.com/

Twitter just announced Firefox with twitter via a tweet of course. But they made it as if you have to reinstall Firefox to get the feature, Twitter Address Bar Search.

": download Firefox with Twitter & search for or right from the address bar "

If you already have the Firefox installed, you do not have to reinstall it, just get the add-on from the Mozilla site. But it is a nice add-on.
