Ten Linux and Open Source milestones in 2008
As we are winding up another year I felt the urge to write about milestones. Of course they would have to be Linux and Open Source associated milestones.
To celebrate I did a quick troll of google and compiled a list of ten milestones for the open source and Linux world.
* In what has to be the longest development time that I know of Wine finally reached its 1.0 release. Wine allows you to run windows programs under Linux.
* The Amazon internet jungle giant has given the nod to developers and released service level agreements for Linux users of its Elastic Compute Cloud.
* The coffee lovers of us do like a good cup of Java (I have a hot one right next to me now, tantalising me with its smell.) Now you can have your Java free of proprietary restraints. The free and open Java development kit, started by sun and continued on by Redhat has reached its milestone by passing the Java test compatibility kit.
