  • The world needs interoperable #ODF. And not M$ type of #UnODF. We need to step up here. #
  • Ok. #Cloud computing is growing beyond buzzword. Now is the time to make it an #openStandard. Anyone bites? #
  • @greve french people too ;-) #
  • @greve wrt comptia, I guess M$ is afraid that next step would be bundling OOo with M$. That would crash their #UnODF strategy. #
  • I propose a new name for Micosofts version of ODF – let’s all call it #UnODF. #
  • Bin immer noch hin und weg von einem der Wahlslogans der #Bayernpartei: “Kriminalität verbieten”. Jo sauber, sog i!! #
  • Wrt #sf buying #ohloh. Consolidation or another bubble? Next step: #SF announces a cloud solution ;-) #buzzwordbingo #
  • At #IDC cloud event today. Let’s explain the open cloud. #
  • @nichtsokleijn fuer mich ist das iPhone die weisse Tennissocke fuer dieses Jahrzehnt ;-) #
  • #Microsofts cloud strategy is frightening. #Azure leaves no room for anything else. #
  • @netzpolitik BKA hat wohl versucht die Seiten zu finden die Alvar Freude vom Netz hat nehmen lassen, siehe Heise newsticker … #
  • Funny how #apple asks eu commission for fair market to serve more customers in europe while refusing to open iTunes itself … #
  • RT @joi: Digg is now using CC0 . Yay! – http://ping.fm/uKXOP #
  • @fabsh Red Bull Cola contains traces of cocaine. As do many other coca flavoured things. Some poliician decided to make it a problem. #
  • This is good news. Even if 1200 jobs are lost. http://tinyurl.com/o6z3ot #
  • GTD for eMail seems to work! Using IMAP tags. Thunderbird combined with Zimbra. If only Blackberry would support tags … #
  • @greve I am still used to Error 64 at line 120 … ;-) #
  • Dear #RIM, could you add support for Tags to Blackberry? Would make life a lot easier when I can tag mails with “action”, “wait” etc. #
  • @karsten mutt? Oh no! ;-) #
  • … and you thought Switzerland was doing not-so-nice things? Look here. Romania. Thanks @greve for noticing. http://tinyurl.com/ovgnv7 #
  • @fabsh munich is still sunny. But it’ll change soon … #
  • That explains the tender. University of Paderborn hands netbook to all new students. Linux is an option! http://tinyurl.com/ougatn #
  • The Paderborn Tender is here: http://tinyurl.com/p573hn #
  • @fabsh Well, I see how dark it gets now. The car will protect me, but I’ll wait a few minutes before driving home. Or maybe better rush now #
  • Lustige Überschrift. “Sterben ist nicht das Ende” http://tinyurl.com/o4×52y #
  • Thunderstorm hangs over munich. Will try to get home anyway. Wish me luck. #
  • Standing at the railway crossing. Thunder, lightning, rain and heavy wind around me. How nice. #
  • And ofcourse. The crossing stays closed. Broken by lightning I guess. #
  • Flash hit ground ten metres away. Wow. #
  • @mairin – that is a 404 … #
  • @mairin sorry, sorted. Link works now. #
  • Great leap for Open Source? http://tinyurl.com/ce7wkw #
  • #zensursula vom #SPIEGEL in die Mangel genommen: http://tinyurl.com/p2h83d #
  • Obama not so nice? http://mobile.nytimes.com/2009/05/21/us/politics/21obama.xml #
  • @nichtsokleijn wegen schweiz, habe gerade mail geschickt. Ueberschrift ist so nicht korrekt … #
  • Dear #facebook. Would you mind switching your login page to https? Would make phishing attempts a bit more difficult. #
  • Nice. Fedora based home server. http://tinyurl.com/pxo3oo #
  • More Swiss neutrality articles … http://tinyurl.com/pahpzp #
  • @greve – DIY? Should be simple. Bacula is in Fedora repo, Kolab – dunno. #
  • @greve 90% Amahi, 10% DIY – still better as 100% DIY …. #
  • Next no-tender-for-us in Switzerland. This time Bern. Article in german. http://tinyurl.com/qhgtzq #
  • The neglish version os Switzerland I: http://tinyurl.com/owy5u8 #
  • And it runs Fedora ;-) #
  • Vancouver joins the Open Standards movement! Yay! http://tinyurl.com/qepkdm #
  • Thanks Greve – let’s ask for three-strikes in print too! http://tinyurl.com/ofd3ur #
  • @greve three strikes for patents too! Three infringements = 10 years no patent filing allowed ;-) #
  • Another #ThreeStrikes field: cell calls in public. After three complaints, no cell phone for one year. Aaaaah. Good! #
  • And another one of my #facebook friends is sending phishing SPAM. #
  • @greve the ssl certifcate of bugs.kde.org is expired as of today … very trustworthy ;-) #
  • Tired, hunted, feeling unreal. #needbeer, I guess. #
  • @ruiseabra @greve you’ll never beat #hirschgarten anyway … Spareribs, anyone? With obatzn? #
  • Just invested 150 EUR in Linotypes Stempel Garamond. Let’s hope its worth it. #
  • Discovering #newspeak used by IMF. Organised means intransparent, chaotic means open and distributed. So I am chaotic. #
  • Bed time. Just delivered my abstract for #FUDCon in Berlin. Title: FLOSS2.0 – the next level. #
  • @floschi it needs more coverage though. Working on that ;-) #
  • All german followers: don’t forget to sign against censoring the net! http://tinyurl.com/dceu73 #
  • Anyone offers help with #needbeer in MUC? I will put on my lederhosn if you come to Hirschgarten this evening and share a mass or two… #
  • Good read on M$ and Interop. http://tinyurl.com/ovfumu #
  • @netzpolitik – Die Mehl-Metapher wird Realität – http://tinyurl.com/oxsxlf #
  • @greve monty as in mysql monty? Dual licensing wasn’t the best idea it seems to me … #
  • @greve at least Monty got enough from selling to SUN and to ORCL … But MySQL has lost community. #
  • @greve he’s lost the brand. Better to team up with other projects to make a perfect data layer absed on open standards. #
  • Despite being overpriced, I purchased #Viira for my Blackberry as I think it is worthwhile supporting. #
  • Now that I have #Viira installed, re-reading the #GTD book. My life is getting centered around my Blackberry. Scary. #
  • Cool. Heise has written a set of scripts that turn linux into a windows update server. Will blog about it soonish. #
  • In #GTD thinking – is a blog a context or a project? #
  • @sankarshan I guess too. Will set it up like that. #
  • Thinking more and more about a community action to force #RIM to support #Linux. Blackberries are cool, but the windows lockin is bad. #
  • I have sent 4 feedback mails to #viira. Let’s see if the react. #
  • @joi I will be there at the 9th of June. Let’s hope I will also have sunand fun … ;-) Enjoy one of the most special places of this world! #
  • In #gadget mood dangerous. #
  • @floschi Meisterparty for Wolfsburg @ Marienplatz – how cool ;-) #
