Yesterday Laura Rich posted an article on FastCompany.com, Why You Should Start a Company in... Kansas City. Rich looks at communities to consider if you want to launch a tech company. She says, "Kansas City is home to the Kauffman Foundation, a $2 billion organization dedicated entirely to research and funding of entrepreneurial efforts.

On October 31, Jacqueline Rahemipour posted a letter on the dev@native-lang.openoffice.org mailing list called Every end is a new beginning. The letter, which was signed by Rahemipour and 32 other OpenOffice.org contributors, addressed Oracle's response to the recent creation of The Document Foundation. The letter says, "Oracle's official response to the announcement of The Document Foundation was clear – Oracle will continue OpenOffice.org as usual.

As the Ubuntu community has grown, the percentage of women participating in that community continues to increase. On her blog, Elizabeth Krumbach discusses the increase in participation and says, "It’s exciting to watch Ubuntu become a more inclusive community and to see the passion and support of new people joining from existing community members overcome (or negate) many of the barriers that may have been problems in the past." She also explains some proactive steps that have been taken since 2006 to grow participation by women from an estimated 2.4 percent to 5 percent.Perhaps you're thinking, "Well that's all fine and good, but gimme some $ for participating."

Melanie Chernoff, Public Policy Manager for Red Hat, posted a story on opensource.com about the recent Open Source for America awards handed out at the Government Open Source Conference. Chernoff draws special attention to the White House's commitment to open source and says, "But, of course, the migration of whitehouse.gov to an open source platform (Drupal) was one of the biggest open source stories in the federal government over the past year, so it's probably not a surprise that it won the award for Outstanding Government Deployment."
