L’ex-président somalien Hassan Cheikh Mohamoud élu à nouveau

La Somalie a élu dimanche pour la seconde fois Hassan Cheikh Mohamoud à la présidence, au moment où le pays de la Corne de l'Afrique doit faire face à une insurrection islamiste et à la famine qui menace.

Après un vote marathon pour départager 36 candidats, retransmis à la télévision nationale, des fonctionnaires du Parlement ont dénombré plus de 165 votes en faveur de l'ex-président Mohamoud (au pouvoir de 2012 à 2017), qui a donc dépassé le nombre de suffrages requis pour vaincre le sortant, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, dit Farmajo.

Brief History Of Linux (#29)

"The Cathedral and the Bazaar" is credited by many (especially ESR
himself) as the reason Netscape announced January 22, 1998 the release of
the Mozilla source code. In addition, Rob Malda of Slashdot has also
received praise because he had recently published an editorial ("Give us
the damn source code so we can fix Netscape's problems ourselves!")

Of course, historians now know the true reason behind the landmark
decision: Netscape engineers were scared to death that a large
multi-national corporation would acquire them and crush Mozilla. Which
indeed did happen much later, although everybody thought the conqueror
would be Microsoft, not AOL (America's Online Lusers).

The Netscape announcement prompted a strategy session among Linux bigwigs
on February 3rd. They decided a new term to replace 'free software' was
needed; some rejected suggestions included "Free Source", "Ajar Source",
"World Domination Source", "bong-ware" (Bong's Obviously Not GNU), and
"Nude Source". We can thank Chris Peterson for coining "Open Source",
which became the adopted term and later sparked the ugly "Free Software
vs. Open Source", "Raymond vs. Stallman" flame-a-thons.
