Is Google Calling Gaim’s Shots?

16 november 2005

Earlier this week I psted another small article describing the relationship between Google and Mozilla FireFox. It’s interesting to see how Open Source is being commercially influenced.

An open source developer is alleging that Google is driving the development of Gaim and bypassing the community. Google refutes the claim.

The search giant hired Sean Egan, the lead developer of the Gaim open source instant messaging project, several months ago to make it easier for other IM clients to use Google Talk’s voice features.

The much-anticipated Gaim version 2.0, which is currently in development, was expected to merge code from the gaim-vv (video/voice) project and allow for video and voice support.

But gaim-vv project developer Peter Lawler is alleging that Egan’s contributed code on voice support disregards the existing work done by gaim-vv in favor of supporting Google.

Lawler wrote in his blog that the Google-influenced effort kills off many hours of effort put in by others and himself into MSN and Yahoo webcams, and other niftiness to gaim 2.x, and invents more work for them.

Lawler goes onto explain that he’s “affronted that a commercial company such as Google would behave like this to the OSS community.”

Google verstevigt omhelzing met Firefox

14 november 2005 4 reacties

Ik ben geen open source deskundige, dus neem mijn opmerkingen met een korreltje zout, maar ik vroeg me zo maar af het gaat bij open source in de eerste plaats om keuzevrijheid, toch ? UIt onderstaand bericht blijkt eens te meer het grotere commerciele belang en het hierop voorsoorteren van genoemde partijen. Ik denk persoonlijk dat het hier niet bij zal blijven …

De website van Google is standaard de startpagina in Firefox en tevens gebruikt de populaire browser Google voor zoekresultaten. Het is daarom niet verwonderlijk dat Google graag wil dat Firefox de browsermarkt gaat domineren ten koste van de huidige marktleider Internet Explorer.

Google Base Was Sort of Live

26 oktober 2005 1 reactie

Google is aparently “beta-ing” a new service called Google Base which is positioned as an alternative to eBay :

Several people report Google Base (as predicted yesterday) went live, or at least, its login-screen. I can’t reach it at the moment as it seems Google took it down again, but Dirson posted a screenshot to Flickr. So what is it? Quoting from Dirson’s screenshot of the login screen:
