[ale] [OT][Fwd: Linux and Windows file synchronization in Unison]

[Jonathan Glass]

I wasn't sure if those on the list received this e-magazine, and thought
someone here might be interested due to its focus on Open Source.

Thanks

Headlines often tell the world what university researchers are accomplishing after long and arduous  years examining cures for diseases, alternative methods of power generation, and new ways to rehabilitate the banana. This week, the larger metropolitan dailies may not pick up what we've found as their page-one news, but we really don't care. The Post-it note from openBench Labs is good enough for us: Unison, an Open Source file synchronization tool from the University of Pennsylvania's Institute for Research in Cognitive Science, is software that IT departments can put to very good use.
 
See what happens in our openBench Labs LAN scenario where we construct a Windows-centric environment complicated by a laptop running Linux and Open Office, in order to assess Unison's performance in handling the relationships in transit. 

Also in the spirit of good user-level tools, Njet Communications is a young company with a nifty platform for developers in the name of Anvil, which promises to help build web application projects with only a third of the time and effort of traditional ways of Java development. 

Read how Anvil's pioneers decided to do some serious business homework on how to make money with Anvil, coming up with a business name, Njet, a business model, and licensing decisions that make Njet's founders poster children for business advocates of Open Source. You just have to like a company that says Njet to .net.
