		<description><![CDATA[A minor skirmish has broken out in Bloglandia between the left purists and the &#8220;netroots&#8221;. The opening salvo was fired by our good friend Max Sawicky, with this bit:
The &#8220;Internet Left&#8221; is a mostly brainless vacuum cleaner of donations for the Democratic Party.
Congratulations are first due to Max: in a world that lives on and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The big names at LinuxWorld seem to be getting a bit defensive about their baby, as they hold forth on why Linux &#8220;succeeded&#8221; where BSD &#8220;failed&#8221;. This &#8220;success&#8221; is attributed to everything from the sex appeal of Linus Torvalds to the purported development model. BSD&#8217;s &#8220;failure&#8221;  is, naturally, a failure on these fronts (and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have mentioned earlier the downplaying of the open source movement within the more orthodox segments of the western left. James Boyle writes in the Financial Times about this close-mindedness bias (he is speaking about the general population):
A closed mind about an open world
By James Boyle
Over the past 15 years, a group of scholars has [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a member of a few &#34;left&#34; mailing lists, which are typically dominated by Western Orthodox Leftists (typically Marxists) and even tentative mention of open source, by me (an admitted amateur in left theory), is dismissed as irrelevant to left goals, actions, etc. I never quite understood why not.

Firefox (Mozilla Corporation/Mozilla Foundation) made $72M last year?! - The Jason Calacanis Weblog
UPDATE: I know a lot of folks are coming here from DIGG and other memetrackers. The $72M someone told me at BarCampLA and I have no idea [...]]]></description>
