Legal Announcements Mozilla Public License Alpha 2The second alpha version of the revised Mozilla Public License has been posted; the text has been annotated to make it relatively easy to see what has been changed. "The most significant change in this draft is the patent language. We have made it easier to read but also, we hope, better at protecting communities who choose to use the MPL. It should also have the side effect of making the license Apache-compatible, allowing projects licensed under the next MPL release to include Apache-licensed code in their code bases."
Articles of interest Morgan: Finding more women to speak at Ohio LinuxFest: success!On her blog, Mackenzie Morgan reports on efforts to increase the number of women speakers at Ohio LinuxFest. Due to the outreach, the number of women speakers went from five of 31 last year to 14 of 38 this year. "Recognising the various concerns women speakers can face, we tried to specifically address potential issues in the email sent to women-focused mailing lists. Some of these known issues include lack of confidence in new speakers, not being clear what the intended audience is, or the "imposter syndrome," where someone doesn't recognize that they are qualified to speak on a topic. The woman to woman dialog made the difference.".
