Hangover from "You are the media" Web 2....

It was a mixed experience at the Unconference made possible by Entrepreneur 27 , a group started by university students in Singapore after borrowing the concept which they experienced during their year long stint at Silicon Valley.
I am still recovering from the hangover of the event which actually did not serve alcohol! But the experience of the unconference itself was so alcoholic especially for me when I was amongst those energetic youngsters!!
The P2P connection with Taiwan quake disruption

Not sure if this gets posted as I am on a very weak connection restored today after being unable to access ITVidya for a couple of days after the internet connection in Singapore got disrupted due to under sea cable damage in Taiwan Quake.
Yes, for a moment it looked like we have gone back to medieval age! The quake might have spared the massive damage to human lives this time on boxing day. But it has definitely exposed the vulnerability of central systems in a increasingly distributed and globalized era of connectivity.
From Compiere to ADempiere?!

It is hard to believe when I hear that the Compiere Community is split and the splinter group has started a project named ADempiere! I would like to see, as neutrally as possible, the impact of this move, by the break away group, for the end users.
If I recollect, it was in 2001 I came across Compiere as an Open Source project and subsequently I began to admire the determination of its founder Jorg Janke to keep the project going in Open Source. It is definitely not easy for a business application like ERP, CRM and SCM to survive in an Open Source fashion like the Linux Kernel or an Operating System bundled with GNU utilities. ERP is 20-30% software and 70- 80% customization and implementation.
Java SE 6 performance

In our Samooha project we were looking at improving performance of boot-up time for our heavy Swing application :-)
Guess what, we just moved to Java 6 to see if things are different and we got a bonus of 20 percent additional speed to our application boot-up time!!
Looks like Java 6 has done a good job until at least we are hit with any other blocks in the near future.
Key Advantage of Open Source is Not Cost Savings ?...

Is the title misleading? No it was not intentional but accidental that I came across a good study conducted by a company which uses this title while publishing their study. Here is the link to the article
According to me the greatest benefit from Open Source is the learning opportunity it offers and the stimulation it provides for folks like me to innovate in the Open with projects like Samooha

I was wondering how to express my excitement about Sun's recent announcement about Java! After some thoughts I decided to write it in my blog where I discuss about Samooha, the software that is making its own progress as a new generation business application platform for Small and Medium Enterprises.
Samooha introduces Game Changers’ Club

Wondering what’s Game Changers’ Club?
This millennium is all about openness and unification. It’s more about cooperation than competition. As Jonathan Schwartz mentioned rightly, innovation happens elsewhere! At Samooha we go a step further to say that we are entering an era of Open Innovation in Enterprise IT. Gone are those days where a select few used to sit in cubicles laid within the four walls and think and talk of innovation. R&D has now come into the Open. I believe innovation happens when the fear of failing is overcome. The humiliation faced during innovation is a thrill by itself and those who take it with grace and grit will emerge winners. They are then termed as game changers!!
Samooha finds takers in Singapore

It was generally a hectic trip to Singapore and I found it to be quite satisfying. Samooha seems to have caught up attention there and a couple of larger implementations that will take off soon will get the platform further acceptance in the higher mid-segment of the enterprise while we continue to build a better "networked Business Operating System" for Small Enterprises.
