I just held a reunion with people I worked with at a real-time and data acquisition computer vendor 20 years ago, and was interested to see how many ended up in another, related line of work.

Programmer Taran Rampersad planned all along to write a review of Masterminds of Programming: Conversations with the Creators of Major Programming Languages -- but his reading impressed him so much he ended up writing a review for each chapter. He brought plenty of personal knowledge about languages to his reading of the book.

O'Reilly's first book on virtualization uses our popular Cookbook format to give you ideas about administrative tasks you might not have thought you could do, or could be doing more efficiently. In preparation for the main annual VMware conference, VMworld (August 31--September 3 in San Francisco), we've put a couple recipes online: Ethernet Traffic Shaping and Monitoring CPU Usage.

You aren't really on the Internet unless you have a fixed IP address. A proposed policy would spread the power of the Internet more broadly by granting blocks of IPv6 addresses to small non-profit networks.

Identity expert Will Norris has two new blogs about OpenID's potential use for privacy. As he points out, OpenID was meant to strengthen and share identity, not to protect privacy. But he draws some lessons from the classic Shibboleth project for delegated authentication in the blog Best Practices with Directed Identity, then puts forward a multi-tiered OpenID system for privacy in A New Kind of OpenID Proxy.

For almost a decade, thanks to privacy laws, U.S. government web sites have been prohibited from using cookies to maintain information on visitors between sessions. (Session cookies are allowed because of their short duration.) Because so many useful features are enabled by cookies, the Office of Management and Budget released a request for proposals this week seeking new perspectives on the cookie policy and ways to enable the features that will make public participation in government more appealing. I took the opportunity to re-examine the federal approach to privacy, and submitted the proposal that follows in this blog.

An unconference such as the Community Leadership Summit 2009 feels like one of those long, lingering meals you can enjoy with friends in a fine European restaurant, full of lively conversation. Or an intense experience like an arts festival, which perhaps suggests why one participant at the end of the Community Leadership Summit suggested it be held in conjunction with South by Southwest instead of the O'Reilly Open Source convention.

We've just released the first chapter of this book (as HTML on the O'Reilly site and a PDF on the, artofcommunityonline.org, companion site Jono created).
