News from all over (fwd)
quite a few articles concerning Linux and Open Source in my morning report
to my tech list. here they are:
New Source of Mozilla (third release!)

Corel meeting with OCLUG to discuss it's views on Open Source (future
source release of their underselling-yet-excelent Office suite?)
http://slashdot.org/articles/98430105222.shtml
Rob Malda (creator and bigdaddy of Slashdot) wrote an editorial about how

this has been released on Comp.os.linux.announce (or c.o.l.a.), and this
is the exciting excerpt:
[ special meeting reschedule due to ] "public announcement that will
deal with Corel's position on Open Source Software and the
importance of this new paradigm to Corel Computer Corp." In
attendance will be: Dr. Michael Cowpland: President and CEO,
Corel Corporation. Chairman of Corel Computer Corp. Mr. Eid
Eid, President of Corel Computer Corp.
There will be possibly some officials from Netscape on hand
also.
