Thomas Communications, Inc. Announces Premiere Issue Of Enterprise Open Source Journal
First magazine to inform CIOs, IT executives, and IT staff of open source issues and related topics such as open standards and open systems.
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) June 6, 2005 -- Thomas Communications, Inc., publisher of
Business Integration Journal and z/Journal, today announced the premiere issue
of Enterprise Open Source Journal, the first magazine to inform CIOs, IT
executives, and IT staff of open source issues and related topics such as open
standards and open systems. Enterprise Open Source Journal takes a broad view of
open source to accommodate the various meanings of the term since today’s
enterprises are comprised of IT ecosystems containing a large variety of
heterogeneous elements that must work together to solve business challenges.
Therefore, the mission of Enterprise Open Source Journal is to present
high-quality content that will inform and educate readers on issues unique to
the use of open source within these enterprises such as licensing, security,
integration, compatibility, evaluation, support, ROI, liability,
indemnification, and user experiences.
The premiere issue of Enterprise
Open Source Journal contains an outstanding line-up of articles written by many
of today’s leading authorities in the world of open source. Some of the articles
appearing in the premiere issue include: Top-Five Myths of Open Source by
Bernard Golden; Balancing Software Developer Productivity Against Copyright
Infringement Risks by John Koenig; How Open Source Development Principles Lead
to More Effective Software Reuse by Brian Behlendorf; The Challenges and
Opportunities of Building a Business in Open Source by Marc Fleury; The Future
of Open Source Grid Computing in the Enterprise by Peter Yared; and many
others.
Because open source is a worldwide phenomenon, Enterprise Open
Source Journal is free to IT professionals around the world. Subscribers within
the United States can choose to receive either the printed or digital version
(both versions are identical) of the magazine. International subscribers will
receive the digital edition thereby eliminating mailing delivery delays and the
substantial subscription prices these subscribers must typically pay.
“We
invite IT professionals everywhere to subscribe to Enterprise Open Source
Journal, and consider contributing an article for publication consideration,”
said Bob Thomas, CEO of Thomas Communications. “Once readers review the premiere
issue of Enterprise Open Source Journal, we believe they will quickly notice the
high-quality of the articles, and that most of our content is contributed by
subject matter experts who have many years of experience. All we ask is for
everyone to read the premiere issue and see for themselves.”
