As old media complains, some of leaders of the information age are finally starting to realize that another drastic change has occurred, and it's time to adapt…or prepare for the long, languishing walk into extinction.
Today is an open source era. Holding proprietary technology, data, information, etc. is counter-productive. Not allowing others to participate is pointless and a waste of capital. When all are allowed to participate, the resources of the globe are employed, and there is no stronger work force. The only way towards true progress is through collaboration, and this means allowing others to use what was previously viewed as proprietary. Open source is defined as "a set of principles and practices that promote access to the production and design process for various goods, products, resources and technical conclusions or advice."

X10 is an experimental new language currently under development at IBM in collaboration with academic partners. The X10 effort is part of the IBM PERCS project (Productive Easy-to-use Reliable Computer Systems) in the DARPA program on High Productivity Computer Systems. The PERCS project is focused on a hardware-software co-design methodology to integrate advances in chip technology, architecture, operating systems, compilers, programming language and programming tools to deliver new adaptable, scalable systems that will provide an order-of-magnitude improvement in development productivity for parallel applications by 2010.

IBM is joining OpenOffice.org and creating its own free version called Lotus Symphony, aimed at its enterprise and government customers.
"We think that there's a broad-based consensus that some governance and structural changes are in order that would make the OpenOffice project more attractive to others. It's no secret that this has been an issue for us for some time, and we haven't viewed OpenOffice.org as being as healthy as it might be in this respect."
