Yahoo! puts money behind Apache
December 17th, 2007 • web
Yahoo! has recently pledged to become a “platinum sponsor” of the Apache Software Foundation and discusses such on their blog. This is a great move for what was once the most ubiquitous web server application on the planet (and by many measures, still is). Yahoo!, like Google, clearly builds almost all of the public-facing infrastructure on open source software, in hopes of offering both high-level visibility for F/LOSS and improving public image of open source software. Their entire mail back-end infrastructure runs on qmail, DKIM (which they helped pen and openly offer on sourceforge), SpamAssassin, and greylisting (shh, they won’t admit they use it but they do!).
However, moving a sizeable amount of money to the Apache Foundation is definitely a move in the right direction for Yahoo! not only for PR but for helping the project move forward in other endeavours. They even hired the VP of Apache and author of Hadoop to come to the Yahoo!sphere.

I’m making homemade barbecue tomorrow and it’s going to be so good…hopefully. I’m only wavering because Winn-Dixie in Boca Raton does not apparently carry the house-brand Deep South, a staple barbecue sauce for non-offending and basic barbecue. I’ve been using the stuff for years as a base to my own homemade sauce but I’m stuck in unexplored territory this week — aside from a bottle of delectable Stubbs’ Mild — and I’m nervous. I’ve never made bad barbecue but I’ve made bad sauce in the past, hence my proclivity for ready-made stuff. Since I moved to FL, none of my significant others have the penchant for ultra-spicy barbecue sauce that I do so I must use the tamest I can find.
Today, the tamest had gone extinct it seems and I’m stuck with “Sweet Baby Ray’s” sauce. I hope it’s good or I just blew a bunch of money on 3 lbs of pork butt.
