Mandatory Upgrade To WordPress 3.0.2

There is a mandatory upgrade to WordPress 3.0.2 from all previous versions. This is a maintenance release to fix a moderate security issue which allows a user with an author level access to gain access of the rest of the site. The upgrade is particularly important to blogs with multiple users, and all others.

There should be no valid excuse not to upgrade to version 3.0.2 since WordPress upgrades are easy and painless. All it takes is just one click. I upgraded my blogs just a tad different than most WordPress users. I use Subversion update. I have a script that updates all my blogs all at once. Based on the Subversion upgrade, there are only about a dozen files that have changed.

So, update to WordPress 3.0.2. It should be quick and worth the while.

Red Hat Nearing $1 Billion in Revenue

Red Hat Nearing $1 Billion in Revenue

It looks like Red Hat will reach revenue of $1 billion dollars in 2011. This number is based Red Hat’s recent quarter. In any case, it will be a remarkable achievement, considering Red Hat’s business is based on open-source software. Only a handful of software companies can claim the $1 billion dollar mark.

This goes to show you, the impact of open-source software to businesses today. Even though it’s hard to track down and quantify open-source use, businesses rely on open-source software more than it’s realized. Redhat’s source of revenue comes mainly from their server side of the business, in terms of subscriptions, training and other services.
