Apache should deprecate OpenOffice and send users to LibreOffice instead
LibreOffice is the default version shipped with leading versions of GNU/Linux, but Schaller thinks many ordinary users still don't realise things have changed. His anecdata: he found his own mother used OpenOffice, and upgraded her to LibreOffice.

Seagate, Toshiba, Scality And Others Launch Kinetic Open Storage Platform For Smart, Low-Overhead Cloud Object Storage
Two years ago, Seagate debuted a new technology for hard drives that essentially gives applications direct access to some of its drives over an Ethernet connection to store objects using key-value pairs. This reduces the overhead that comes with traditional file systems and file servers and allows vendors to pack more drives into their racks. Seagate made drivers for this technology available for OpenStack’s Swift object storage and Riak, and Toshiba also recently launched some drives built on the same technology.

Here's an open source transport and planning map of Greater Manchester to play with

LulzBot Teams with bq To Offer Open Source Ciclop 3D Scanner to US Market
Early this year we covered the announcement of the launch of bq’s open source 3D scanner, the Ciclop. The device, which has since become one of the higher rated stationary 3D scanners on the market, uses laser triangulation technology and a compact rotating table to scan objects as large as a volleyball. The company, at the time, called it the ‘first DIY 3D scanner’ on the market.

Please Help to Port python-debianbts to Python3
I’m currently trying to find a way to port python-debianbts to Python3. Debian’s standard bugreport tool reportbug depends on python-debianbts and can thus not convert to Python3 if python-debianbts does not as well. Unfortunately python-debianbts depends on SoapPy for parsing the Debian bugtracker’s responses, and that library is not ported to Python3 yet, and probably never will.

Calling 1959 from your Web code: A COBOL bridge for Node.js
Have you ever wanted to just cut and paste some of that legacy COBOL code from mainframe applications into your latest Web application? No? Well, Romanian Web developer Bizău Ionică has developed a way to do just that, creating a COBOL bridge for Node.js, the JavaScript-based cross-platform runtime environment that has become a go-to technology for server-side Web development. The plugin is an attempt to breathe new life into the programming language derived from the work of computing pioneer Admiral Grace Hopper.

What you missed in Cloud: Open-source greatness
and Red Hat Inc. intends to keep it that way. Its ambitions came to the fore once again last week following a strategic investment in an obscure partner called Tesora Inc. that is working to make OpenStack, the community-developed infrastructure-as-a-service platform, more scalable.
