		<title>Selectricity&#8230;yay, someone beat me to the punch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just set up a mock election on Selectricity, just to see what it could do, and was pleasantly surprised that they created a very simple interface for creating Schulze/Condorcet elections that pretty much anyone can use.  I tried getting to this point a few years ago with Electowidget, but sadly didn&#8217;t get to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brutal honesty in open source development</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a bit of a flamewar going on right now between the main PulseAudio developer, and another Linux desktop developer who grew frustrated by some very real problems caused directly and indirectly by it.  PulseAudio is the latest of many savior technologies that promise to make audio on Linux not suck.  I&#8217;m actually [...]]]></description>

		<title>Software as hiring decision</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article in CIO Magazine touches on things that you should look for in choosing open source software:

Project stability: Can you trust the project to be there when you need it?
Project support: Can you get support when you need it?
Internal software management: Does your company know what open-source programs it’s using? How it’s developing and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A hard problem worth solving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a description of the organic open source panel at OSCON (which I&#8217;m participating in): &#8220;The OSI’s Open Source Definition attempts to set the minimum bar for a software license to be considered “open source”.  However, there’s much more to a software project than just the license.  Are software projects dominated by a [...]]]></description>

		<title>She&#8217;s Two!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The last couple years have been a &#8216;merciful blur&#8217; as my mom likes to put it. Hard to believe our little baby is now 2 years old. Running, jumping, climbing, feeding herself and talking in complete sentences.
My mother is here for a 2 week visit. The last time was December 2006!
We had Auntie Dawn and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open source and a free tote bag</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Matt Asay wrote a blog post &#8220;Cash, code, or free-riding in open source communities?&#8220;, which was a good post on a topic I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about myself.  He used the term &#8220;free-rider&#8221; which caused a well documented uproar.
I&#8217;m saddened by the sense of entitlement inherent in the uproar.  What&#8217;s wrong with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is OpenSolaris an elitist?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dave Neary has a great blog post about Sun trying to do the right thing.  It was refreshing to read this, and quite insightful.  I&#8217;ve been watching the naming debate with some interest, if for no other reason than this is a conversation I&#8217;m quite interested in pushing my view in, and it [...]]]></description>
