 Phillip Moore: Open Source Software

 6 pm, Soho Apple Store at 103 Prince Street

 A presentation will be made on The Evolving Role of Open Source Software in
 Large Enterprises

 Describing myself has to be the single most difficult thing I do in life. Its
 fairly easy to compress my professional self into a nice little sound bite for
 conferences, for example:

   Phillip Moore recently left Morgan Stanley, where he was Executive
   Director of UNIX Engineering. There Phil was a senior architect,
   responsible for the evolution of the Firm's UNIX/Linux infrastructure.
   His past accomplishments include the deployment of Morgan Stanley's
   perl development environment, global filesystem (AFS), and
   transactional messaging infrastructure (MQSeries), with over 15 years
   experience deploying solutions to problems of extreme scalability. He
   is the original author of the MQSeries suite of perl modules, and a
   member of the OpenAFS Advisory Council. Phil left Morgan Stanley to
   more fully participate in the open source community. He is an open
   source advocate and enterprise technology consultant.

 That is the official, corporate 'me'. Oh, you will often see me listed as 'W.
 Phillip Moore' in older publications, but I am dropping the W entirely, as that
 letter has come to be associated with something I consider dark and evil.

 But there is a lot more to me than 'work', and its the things I call 'life'.

 I am a happily married (no, really) father of two teenagers, a daughter in High
 School, and a son in Junior High. My wife and I have been together for over 15
 years, and most people who meet us think we are (a) just dating, or (b) the
 kids babysitters. OK, that is not true, they think she is the babysitter, and
 they wonder how the tattooed and pierced balding guy can possibly be related...

    ... they have told me that it's illegal for me to develop an inhouse application using the Open Source edition of Qt, unless I convince the people at my univ to _release_ the code I've written under a GPL-compatible open source license itself. ... Possibly they have a GPL-compatible license that adds that requirement. ... What they are doing is prohibiting *in their commercial license* that you apply it on projects previously developed under the GPLed QT. ... Software developed with the Qt Open Source Edition is always open source software, i.e. it can only be distributed under a open source software license. ...
