ABout Time Linux blog online

This is now the official online site for the AbT Linux project. All postings have been migrated here, a counter has been added at the bottom of the page to mark the initial starting point (I had the first hit!).

The color scheme has been carefully copied from the older site and content images moved here to preserve all the nice work from our PR Lady!

Comments welcome here to suggest improvements and should you feel the urge to become a poster / writer here, you can reach me at 'erics at abtlinux dot org' to apply for an account.

Migration of AbTLinux site over to Blogger

Taking a look at moving the AbTLinux site over to Blogger to relieve some of the overhead of managing a complete site for this project.

Open Source talk at the Linux World Expo in Jaarbeurs Utrecht 2008

[A cross post from my site.]

I wanted to preview the talk I am going to be giving in the Jaarbeurs Utrecht for the Linux World Expo, 12-13 November 2008. The Expo is about Open Source and I have been invited to talk about Open Source in a business context as applied at the SNS Bank. Here is the abstract of the talk (abstract is in Dutch I am afraid).

2004 tot heden. Open Source in de praktijk bij SNS Bank

SNS Bank maakte in 2004 de overstap van een vooral closed source architectuur naar een architectuur met open source componenten. Open source architectuur biedt veel voordelen voor de website van SNS Bank, waarop in 2010 alle eenvoudige producten van SNS Bank in vijf clicks beschikbaar zijn en alle dagelijkse bankzaken volledig afgehandeld kunnen worden. Eric D. Schabell, Systeem Specialist bij SNS Bank, vertelt waarom SNS Bank heeft gekozen voor open source architectuur en hoe het werkt in de praktijk.
