A quiet battle of sorts is taking place behind the scenes in the software industry. Software as a Service and cloud computing have evolved, placing much more attention on Web-based applications. This greater focus has also raised expectations for the services delivered via Web 2.0. The open source software community has responded to this growing demand for a software-driven Internet by building some of the leading Web apps available. "I'm seeing more innovation in open source in this area," Aaron Fulkerson, cofounder and CEO of MindTouch, told LinuxInsider.

Great Story. I just commented on one of the story on this site about my selection of cyn.in (http://cyn.in) over socialtext and rest of the wiki+social+enterprise collaboration software. Next is this post. This post gave me confidence that I have selected a right product for my collaboration requirement. cyn.in is an open source group collaboration software comprises of wiki, blog, shared work spaces, file repository, calender, micro-blogging among the users, version control system. Built on on top of Python powered Plone CMS, cyn.in runs on Linux, Mac and Windows, they say that cyn.in appliance has inbuilt OS. I hope to witness wonders :)

Hi All,

I'm "Linux enthusiast" since Novell bought SuSE.

I've run web sites, Blogs, and servers. It is simply a hobby.

Web 2.0 will only mean something for me when I can run personaly, my Linux set-up to serve millions.

Think about is for a minute. Server, applications, codecs, OS. That would be software as a source of income.
