Subject: California passes groundbreaking open textbook legislation
It’s official. In California, Governor Jerry Brown has signed two bills (SB 1052 and SB 1053) that will provide for the creation of free, openly licensed digital textbooks for the 50 most popular lower-division college courses offered by California colleges. The legislation was introduced by Senate President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg and passed by the California Senate and Assembly in late August.

Oracle's proprietary posture may have soiled the welcome mat and vilified its good standing in the FOSS community as CEO Larry Ellison pushes the balance point between servicing his customers and nickel-and-diming them to turn a higher profit. Clearly, since Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems -- and with it OpenOffice and Java -- the company has not acted very neighborly with open source developers.

Subject: Installing Lighttpd With PHP5 (PHP-FPM) And MySQL Support On OpenSUSE 12.2
Lighttpd is a secure, fast, standards-compliant web server designed for speed-critical environments. This tutorial shows how you can install Lighttpd on an OpenSUSE 12.2 server with PHP5 support (through PHP-FPM) and MySQL support. PHP-FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is an alternative PHP FastCGI implementation with some additional features useful for sites of any size, especially busier sites. I use PHP-FPM in this tutorial instead of Lighttpd's spawn-fcgi.

Subject: Reasons Why Samsung Should NOT Produce Nexus This Year
The smartphone world has suddenly gone too Samsung-ish. A fresh new design from other manufactures should bring a nice change in the segment. Why don’t Google roll the ball back to HTC, who had designed their very first Nexus device? Their designs have been fairly different from other manufactures and HTC One X was a pure winner. Unibody design anyone? While Sony and LG have more or less produced not-so-innovative and at times, ugly devices, Motorola has shown some good design skills, with its RAZR devices as well.

Subject: DARPA launches first phase of "open source" vehicle design challenge
Today, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) opened up registration for the FANG Challenges, a set of three next-generation military vehicle design competitions that will kick off in January, and will put tools based on approaches borrowed from software development and chip design in the hands of teams of engineers and designers. In an effort to reinvent how such complex systems are designed and built, DARPA is preparing for the first real test of its efforts to use open-source software and Web collaboration—with millions of dollars in prize money at stake.
