- Talking with Likewise on GPLv3 and community management
- I've been watching Palamida's tracking of GPLv3 (and LGPLv3) adoption over the last year with interest. It looks like adoption is moving at a reasonable, if not super-speedy, pace.

- Cloud definitions and economics

- Are you sure you don't just want to use Ubuntu?
