THE FUSS ABOUT OSS COMMUNITY ROLES
Best of the blogs: Reacting to Sun's Simon Phipps, who posted about the
different roles/stakeholders in an OSS community, Savio Rodrigues

Sun who don't 'get OSS' today? And if there are, shouldn't these folks
have been 'educated' prior to Sun open sourcing their software
portfolio?" Rodrigues asks in this Open Sources post. Mr. Phipps weighs

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT AMD'S SSE5 INSTRUCTION SET
Best of the blogs: Whereas AMD typically follows Intel's lead when it
comes to x86 instructions, the chipmaker has now published its own,
known as SSE5. "If you maintain operating systems, drivers, libraries,
or compilers that support AMD64 processors, you really should care about
this, and start thinking about how you'll integrate this instruction set
into your products," Martin Heller explains in SSE5: Should you care?
Those who develop applications in a high-level language might not feel
as much need to learn the new instruction set. "On the other hand,
