Open Magazine - Your strategic guide to Open Source 
<http://www.open-mag.com/cgi-bin/opencgi/email/redirect.cgi?Open1125>

This week, we examine whether a software company's contest inviting 
developers to compete for dollars is not only out of the box but out of 
line with open source developers' reasons for being.  Find out why WDI 
dreamed this up in the first place and what an open source developer 
thinks of the whole idea.

Curiosity over contests was matched by curiosity over at openBench 
Labs, where analysts wanted to see if small-shop enterprise wannabes using 
DAT achieve enterprise performance via TapeStor from Certance.
