“The more active the community, the better.” Ari Jaaksi

“It is clear that using available subsystems, such as the Linux kernel or the GTK+ toolkit saves time and resources. Actually, developing an operating system and middleware was never even an option for us. In reality, we had two different options for the Nokia 770 internet tablets: either use an existing commercial and closed operating system and middleware, or then use an existing open source operating system and middleware. We used the open approach because we believed it saves time and money, and enables us to freely mold and shape our products according to the market needs. ”

Open source simplifies and accelerates software licensing, and reduces technology and quality risks. Instead of negotiation for months, the technical work can start immediately.

WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR MOTIVATION

"Sticking the Boot in" Goals play an essential role in the purposeful behaviour of job seekers, but to date scholars have not been able to communicate this knowledge to the practitioners of motivational intervention programmes. This article will present a conceptual framework for thinking about the motivational construct with respect to long-term unemployment. Another purpose is to integrate classic ideas on needs, values and goals, thus enriching the study and practice of motivational interventions. Finally, the author’s aim is to present a theory of how motivational intervention programmes can increase motivation through providing participants with the opportunity to set specific, well-defined, short-term and effective goals.
