- Vote for PEAR::Image_3D!

  I'd like to beg every PEAR developer to vote on Image_3D, the new 3D
  rendering package for PEAR. Since the first proposal Kore Nordmann (the lead
  maintainer) highly refactored Image_3D and added some fantastic new features
  like:

- A clash of asociality

  Open sources are great things, annoying things too. For example, take the
  PEAR project. There is a huge croud of developers in the project (more than
  800 registered users on PEARWeb, more than 200 maintainers), which every day
  try to improve the project, try to work together and try to learn from what
  they code and from the code they read. They feel the spirit of open source,
  they invest much time and train their hard skills in coding and their soft
  skills in the cooperation with a team.

- Software patent directive REJECTED

  A great victory in a huge war. Thanks to all you
  anti-sorftware-patent-activists!

- Reading recommendation

  Zak Greant (collegue here at eZ and well known in the community) just sent
  me a great collection of book recommendations related to open source,
  management and marketing, which I'd like to share here:

- PEAR::XML_RPC - Security vulnerability!

  As already mentioned, a huge bunch of PHP based applications have a security
  issue in their XML-RPC implementations. This also applied to PEAR::XML_RPC.
  If you are using this package, it's more than recommended to upgrade to the
  new version 1.3.1, which fixes the named issue. If you have your own or are
  using another ones  XML-RPC implementation, please check immediatly if the
  issue exists there, too! There are several example exploits around the web,
  so take this issue seriously!

- Linuxtag roundup -2-

  This is a sequel to my series "Linuxtag roundup".

- Linuxtag roundup -1-

  This article shall become a series on Linuxtag 2005. I'll try to sum up the
  most interesting parts of it and possible I miss out important facts. But
  please forgive me, but the flood of information was in some cases to much.
  Sorry for that, if you feel missing in the list of interesting
  contacts/projects/ideas/..., please leave a comment at one of the blog
  entries!

- How to make Linux out of your Windows

  It's been a long long time since I last posted in this category, but this
  link I received from Aaron is really funny:
