In this latest edition of 451 CAOS Insight Update, our biweekly newsletter from The 451 Group's Commercial Adoption of Open Source (CAOS) Research Service, we examine the recent announcement of mobile Linux collaboration for future devices from Intel and mobile-phone giant Nokia, which we covered in both a report and CAOS Theory blog entry. Also this week, we look at Sonatype and its efforts to build and expand commercially from the popular open source Apache Maven project management and Nexus repository management software. We'll also update our CAOS audience on OpenLogic, which notes continued growth and changing perspectives on open source in the enterprise. There have also been some recent discussions on our blog, including some vendor perspectives on the impact of open source software on sales and marketing efforts and strategies, which we cover in this edition.

As part of The 451 Group's Commercial Adoption of Open Source (CAOS) Research Service, we also host a biweekly podcast call for CAOS clients. This call includes a roundup of top issues and developments in open source by 451 Group analysts Matt Aslett and Jay Lyman. The call is in listen-only mode, although we welcome your questions, topics and feedback via email.

Archives of past calls are available as a public podcast through iTunes or from the CAOS Theory podcast site. Feel free to share this link with anyone.
