The Business Case for Open Source Software: Successful Models and Implementations
- a panel discussion on October 1st.
Why are companies such as Merrill Lynch, Reuters, Disney, Verizon, Morgan
Stanley, Dreamworks, Credit Suisse First Boston, and L.L.Bean adopting and
succeeding with OPEN SOURCE?
Join us for a breakfast panel presentation targeted towards the use of Open
Source software in business. Panelists are leading industry technologists
who have deep knowledge of the many ways Open Source software can help
businesses succeed. If you are a technology or information executive for
your firm and are contemplating implementing Open Source as part of your
business or are simply curious to learn more about what Open Source is and
how it might help your business, this panel presentation will answer your
questions. Registration is free.
What?
A panel discussion on successful models and implementation of open source
software.
When?
October 1, 2002, 9:00 - 10:00 am (breakfast will be served)
Where?
Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler LLP
1133 Avenue of the Americas (at 44th Street) 24th Floor
New York, New York 10036

Patterson Belknap is a New York City-based law firm with significant
experience providing intellectual property counseling and
litigation services. Attorneys at Patterson Belknap are quite experienced
and involved with Open Source software legal issues.
Besides counseling clients on these issues, Patterson Belknap attorneys have
also published articles and made presentations on the subject.
Moderated by a Patterson Belknap attorney, the panel
will include:
Scott Handy, Director Worldwide Linux Solutions, IBM
Scott is responsible for enabling solutions for Linux that
use IBM DB2, WebSphere, Lotus and Tivoli software. He is
also responsible for Open Source strategy and sits on
IBM's Open Source Steering Committee. Scott started with
IBM in December 1983 as a systems engineer and has a
Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and
Computer Science from UC Berkeley.
Spiro Maroulis, Engagement Manager, RedHat
Red Hat is the leader in development, deployment, and
management of Linux and Open Source solutions for
Internet infrastructure, ranging from embedded devices to
secure Web servers. The foundation of Red Hat's business
model, Open Source, represents a fundamental shift in how
software is created. Because the code is available to
anyone and because developers who use the software are
free to improve it, the result is rapid innovation. Red Hat
solutions combine Red Hat Linux, developer and embedded
technologies, training, management services, and technical
support. Red Hat's customers include Credit Suisse First
Boston, Kenwood, DreamWorks, Greenpeace and the New
Jersey State Police.
Robert Lefkowitz, Director, Merrill Lynch
Merrill is one of many Wall Street brokerages doing a largescale
Linux deployment in an effort to cut their costs and
boost revenue. Indeed, one of the big benefits that Merrill
sees is that they can write an application once and then
deploy it with minimal work on mainframes, mini-computers,
desktops, laptops and handhelds-whether it be on Intel
hardware or something else. This contrasts with the
expensive and time consuming Unix approach where
developers write software for every version of Unix, including
for tools and patches. If it works out the way they hope,
Merrill could be savings tens of millions of dollars annually
within three to five years.
Jim Gleason, VA Software and Founder and President of The New
York Linux Users Group. Jim co-founded Electric Lichen LLC,
which was acquired by VA Software in 1999 and is perhaps best
known for its efforts helping IBM, Informix, and numerous Linux
distribution vendors launch their Linux strategies. Jim is also
the Founder and President of the New York Linux User's Group
(NYLUG.org) which supports all things Linux and Open Source
in the greater New York area.

Distributed Concurrent Versions System (DCVS) Technology Preview
================================================================
DCVS extends the well-known version control system
CVS and the file distribution and synchronization program
CVSup with functionality to distribute CVS repositories
with local lines of development and handle synchronization of
the distributed repositories automatically in the background.
DCVS is completely open source (BSD and GNU license); a
first technology preview release is now available from
elego Software Solutions GmbH, Berlin, Germany at
http://www.elegosoft.com/
Some information is also available from the product pages of
CM Magazin, a German language SCM portal site:
http://www.cmmagazin.de/
If you have ever wondered how to synchronize your distributed
CVS repositories and allow local lines of development, this
is the way to go.
The sources now available contain only the minimum of
needed functionality and require some know-how to set up
correctly; we're currently looking for testers who will
work with us to stabilize the software before continuing
development in such areas as easy configuration, setup,
etc.
If you are interested in DCVS or willing to participate in
a beta test phase, please drop us a line.
We currently provide DCVS binary packages for Linux and FreeBSD.

Molecular Pathology Goes Live with Web-based
Lab Information System Built on InterSystems' CACHÉ 5
CIO Leverages New Real-time Analytics for Viewing Complex Test Results
_____________________________________________________________________________________
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—September 23, 2002—InterSystems Corporation today
announced that Molecular Pathology Laboratory Network of Maryville,
Tenn., has gone live with a Web system built on CACHÉ 5. The new
application is a major leap forward in laboratory information management
within high-profile fields such as genomics and DNA testing.
Molecular Pathology is recognized as a pioneer in the field of molecular
testing and has been at the forefront of applying molecular techniques
to diagnostic testing. Molecular Pathology specializes in genomic
laboratory medicine including DNA testing for infectious diseases,
molecular oncology, mutational analysis, and human identity testing. The
laboratory must manage data for more than 100,000 analyses each year.
“Given the extremely complex data required for sophisticated diagnostic
testing, we needed database software that could enable high-performance
transaction processing and also deliver real-time data analytics for
queries and reports,” says CIO Kenneth Billings. “The unique ability of
CACHÉ to perform Transactional Bit Map Indexing, along with its XML
capabilities, fast performance, and scalability made it the logical
database choice.”
The Power to Grow
Molecular Pathology began developing the lab system in December 2001.
“Since no application on the market met our specific needs, we realized
it was necessary to build a system capable of managing our data and
expanding with our business,” says Billings. “The number of specialized
tests we've performed has grown tremendously in the past year and a
half. With such growth, we had to develop this application quickly, and
CACHÉ offers rapid development features that made it possible to achieve
that objective. InterSystems also provided the strong support needed to
ensure we could work on a very aggressive development and deployment
schedule,” he adds.
The application runs virtually all processes for the company's labs in
Tennessee and Virginia, tracking specimens and producing automated
reports. Because the system is browser-based, clients are able to log
onto a secure website and view test results from locations anywhere in
the world.
More Power, More Performance, More Scalability
With the introduction of Transactional Bit Map Indexing, CACHÉ is the
first database management system addressing the need to deliver
real-time query capabilities in conjunction with high-performance
transaction processing. CACHÉ 5 also includes built-in support for Web
Services, with full support of SOAP and WSDL. This feature enables
applications to be built and Web Services-enabled very quickly. With the
development of Enterprise Java support, this version of CACHÉ is the
highest performing database for J2EE, and the new Enterprise Cache
Protocol delivers the highest performance and scalability for
multi-server configurations.
“It's truly gratifying to see CACHÉ making the grade in extremely
demanding application environments,” says Paul Grabscheid, InterSystems'
vice president of strategic planning. “Molecular Pathology is leveraging
CACHÉ functionality to the fullest—a strategy that complements their
positioning as an innovator in the bio-informatics sector.”
