All, Remember that Blender

All,

Remember that Blender used to be a closed-source commercial project...

And while the compositor looks more promising than it looked at my first glance, it still lacks substantially even compared to the so-called "defunct" Shake...

Also, I have yet to see an open-source video/movie editor that can even nip at the heels of Final Cut Pro (and yes, I do go out and look for them, rather often).

While there is a LOT of potential in open-source projects, there is definitely still a LONG way to go, at least in the professional creative apps market.

Hail Open Source

HI, I really liked your coments on node based compositing facilities being ofered in Blender. Its true that I am a newbie for video editing and all the other software stuff but that can not stop me from being a huge fan of open source . Lately I v been researching the different capabilities of open source multimedia content ceation softwrae and closed source memebers of the same family t to figure out whether we (OPen Source Lovers ) have beaten the closed source giants. It made me realize that even though vector graphics,raster graphics ,and audio editing and even 3D content creation has already givin promises to be catching up fast.video compositing has ben a bit laging behind.cinerrella seems to do the job right but its stubbornly aiming only Linux platform. For it to beat those Windows based counterparts it l have to battle in the samwe ground.
jahshaka is looking good but where have al the developers gone who were there earlier for it. Open source guy we need to unite to start the battle with cloced Sources!!!

lets hope for a day wheer Open source rules.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
