Business Knowledge Life Cycle

Submitted by Webmaster on Wednesday June 17, 2009

When talking about integration and unification of business processes, rules and event processing, people kinda understand quite rapidly what we are talking about at the runtime level (just imagine making business decisions inside your process as the most simple case). However, when we start talking about unifying or harmonization of the entire life cycle, it sometimes becomes more difficult to explain.

Is Xandros a Linux distro, a marketing machine or a Microsoft stooge?

Submitted by Webmaster on Monday June 15, 2009

You may know of Xandros Linux; for many people exposure came through the Eee PC, with this being the distro chosen by Linux-turncoat ASUS. Yet, what is Xandros' stance on open source software? Might Xandros be a thinly-veiled Microsoft tout as Linspire reborn?

Streamlined support tricks

Submitted by Webmaster on Friday June 12, 2009

Ubuntu is a big project. Nobody really understands everything about Ubuntu; even authoring a Training video on Ubuntu doesn't guarantee sufficient expertise. One great thing about the Internet is that it can bring people with a common interest or problem together. If you have a problem with your car, there are dozens of outlets you can explore to diagnose and repair it.
