Platform transitions everywhere
InternetNews.com and Java.net picked up my report on this month's SeaJUG meeting. I was a little surprised that the Java 5 transition would be considered newsworthy, since platform transitions are somewhat common in the computer industry. Java is going to have the transition to Java 5, which is big if you are want to use the genericized or annotated APIs. .NET is going to undergo a huge transition for Longhorn. Apple has just completed their transition from MacOS to Mac OS X, and the desktop Linux folks are talking about a transition to either Java or Mono. Compared to these other transitions the Java 5 transition doesn't seem so bad.

Creative Commons moves in with OSAF
As Mitch announced in his blog, the staff of Creative Commons is sharing office space with OSAF. I'm very pleased to see this happen, because Larry Lessig's writing have had a big influence in shaping my thinking about open source. I think that the notion of a commons is an important idea for understanding the places where open source is relevant and important, as well as for thinking about what happens next.
