  Open Source Mobile: Volantis Mobility Server 5.1 released, an interview with Mark Watson 

  Volantis Systems few days ago announced the availability of Volantis Mobility Server Community Edition version 5.1. The new release aims at bringing the power of Web 2.0 to the mobile world, including optimizations for the iPhone.

  Volantis Mobility Server was released under the GPLv3 almost one year ago, so I asked Mark Watson, Volantis Systems CEO, about how things are going, and how going open source helped.

    Did you go through the documentation? In case of problems send them feedback.

  The Case for Open Source Development, a Personal Case Study 

  A couple of days ago I happened to meet my old friend Idel Fuschini on the street, and we have been talking about things happened ten years ago or longer when working in the mobile VAS sector, when WAP was still to come.

  Idel over the last ten years has been working on implementing mobile-based services using proprietary products like Volantis (nowadays pretty open source), Mobileaware, and Oracle Portal to go. More recently he started to use also open source platforms like WURFL, eventually ending to be fascinated by the open source side of software development.

  What follows is not a research, neither an investigation including a quantitative evidence, but just a reportage of a programmer’s life and how open source can make a change.

    Hi Roberto,
    some news about my small project, one year after. Mobile community people started to follow me since I released some new features.
    Simon Judge writing on his blog, helped me to raise interest in my work.

    Updates in numbers:
    300 dowloads per month
    8 external contributions from people, both bugs’ corrections and requests for new features
    Apache included my project, now listed among existing modules for Apache
    4 companies wrote me to tell they have adopted my package for delivery mobile content.

    At the end of the day I realized that to make a good open source piece of code, you must have a good idea and people like Roberto and Simon that help you. Thank you both for your help!
