Open Sourcing a product

Well, it seems like we may be on the way to finding out what the problem is with the server. It looks like there may not be a memory leak at all and the load is simply peak traffic. Matt Bloch from Bytemark kindly had a look at the box and threw some pretty rigorous tests at it. It seems we simply need to tune the bugger. This is another class example of Bacon and Aq Bodge It and Scarper SysAdmin Services. Any suggestions on tuning Apache, MySQL, Python?

Had a meeting this morning with a company who are interested in Open Sourcing a product. Its a pretty tough decision to make, and this case was fairly straightforward with no complex IP issues. It was a good chance for them to sit down and brainstorm through the issues and get an idea of what they want to achieve and how to do it. The product they want to work towards seems quite compelling and I am confident that the Open Source process can bring some real value to their business. In cases such as this it is important to step back and identify if you product can sail, what you aim to get out of the Open Source process and how you balance your corporate and community responsibilities. It is a fairly inexact science, but there are social and technical trends that can help in this area. Fun stuff. :)
