Greg KH, Linux kernel developer delivered a keynote in the Linux plumbing conference about the health of the ecosystem. His message was essentially that distributions that don't contribute to the ecosystem have to rely on the whims of others which is unhealthy for them. Here is an introduction the development model and some interesting statistics about the Linux kernel code
a new type of DRM that would allow customers more flexibility in playing content on multiple devices. The Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE) would establish a list of devices in your personal "domain" (unrelated to web domains), and minimizes or removes restrictions within that domain. TechCrunch summarizes DECE and notes that many of the big corporations have decided to support it.
Everyone now-a-days is speaking about “green”.
Green is the new color of the millennium and everyone is getting conscious about the world around them and the things that cause damage to the eco-system.
Many eco-system lovers are not at all showing interest in products, which damage the Mother Earth in any of its [...]
Our teams around the Microsoft Security Response Center recently launched a new blog called MSRC Ecosystem Strategy Team Blog. The blog is thought to give more insights into the work we do with the security ecosystem knowing that vulnerabilities and attacks today not "only" affect Microsoft products but very often the Internet as such – just look at the DNS vulnerability.

A few years back we learned that while our mission statement says "... protection and enjoyment of oceans, waves and beaches..." we'll fail if ALL we do is only focus on the beach and further out to sea.Unlike Vegas, what happens on land doesn't stay on land... it goes out to the oceans.The land and the sea are connected. I know, that seems painfully obvious... it's not. I know it's not as I'm gue
The Small Business - Big Business Ecosystem TrendMark J. Penn is a pollster and the man who identified the trend of "soccer Moms" in 1996. Later he wrote a book called Microtrends along with Kinney Zalesne. He defines a microtrend as affecting a small percentage of the population that can have a large impact on society as a whole: "a microtrend can be as small as 3 million people, or about 1 percent of the American population, and even if that group never grows, it can still have enormous impact on society." Those people in a microtrend "share an intense choice or preference, that is often counterintuitive and has sometimes been missed or undercounted by the companies, marketers, policymakers, and others." The Microtrends website is running a monthly contest where they invite you to subm

One of the stated goals of Senator Barack Obama's campaign for President is to reduce the power of special interests in Washington and return control of the government to the American people. Lobbyists are the conduit carrying special interest influence into government. According to OpenSecrets.org, over 2 billion dollars has been spent on lobbying each year since 2003. Senator Obama's efforts in the Senate include modifying rules to prevent lobbyists from sending gifts to Representatives, and forcing them to disclose who they raise money for. I think it is important to fully understand the role lobbyists play in Washington so we can take further steps to reduce the control they have over the legislative process.A good place to start is this anecdotal article by John Dickerson at Slate
mongabay.com - February 25, 2008 Original URL Brazil's existing system for environmental services payments could offer insight for implementing carbon-credits-for-forest-conservation (REDD) initiatives in the Amazon rainforest, argues a London School of Economics researcher in a new paper published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B. Reviewing the performance of Brazil's Programme for the Socio-Environmental Development of Rural Family Production (Proambiente), Anthony Hall writes that "despite being fraught with problems, Proambiente is one tool among many which could reward small producers for enhancing carbon sequestration and biodiversity conservation." Proambiente was launched four years ago as a way to compensate rural Brazilians for environmental services afford

"Hurricanes May Aid Stressed Coral
WASHINGTON -- Corals stressed by warming conditions may benefit from the passage of a hurricane -- as long as it doesn't slam right into them. Bleaching of corals has been a growing problem in recent years with the loss of algae or reduction of pigment in the living corals that occurs when they are
Parallel with global warming runs the ecosystem crisis. Our species is overpopulating the planet and we are causing great harm to the ecosystems. The IPCC assessment report is very well known due to its extensive and intensive media coverage lately. The corresponding assessment report for the ecosystems, however, has gained much less media attention and few know about it: The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA). I believe our deteriorated spiritual values and our fragmented view of things is a big problem in this context. Money, time, fame and material things are things we value highly in our society. In our mad chase to obtain these things we don't recognize or care about how badly we treat our environment.Key messages from the MA:■ Everyone in the world depends on nature and ecosystem services to provide the conditions for a decent, healthy, and secure life.■ Humans have made unprecedented changes to ecosystems in recent decades to meet growing demands for food, fresh water,
This week’s Economist led with an article about Amnesty’s growing focus on social and economic rights. The concept that humans have rights to basic levels of welfare has become popular since the end of the Cold War and many campaigning NGOs talk about access to sanitation, food and clean water in these terms.
Climate change, or at least human pressure on the environment, is a central issue in how these ‘rights’ are provided for. Our use of the global commons affects human habitats in other parts of the world. But unlike the political rights that Amnesty traditionally champions, there is no authority or legal process to arbitrate and enforce justice. Citizens should have a right to free speech and their governments can be pressured to sponsor it, but we can hardly demand that Mother Earth recognises our right to clean water.
This problem reflects the postmodern idea of citizenship, which is disproportionately focused on rights. The climate change debate is highlighting
