Today, oDesk is launching a program called oDesk Groups, with 11 companies as initial launch partners, including Sun Microsystems, Zend, Yahoo! and Network Solutions. Among other things, Groups are targeted to allow these large tech companies to find developers and people with other types of skills who can work on their products and services. The initial partners have substantial budgets for development, and open source-focused partners Sun Microsystems and Zend may use oDesk Groups to make work available for many open source developers and experts.


Review: Collanos Workspace for Team Collaboration

Collanos

If you collaborate with teams in the workplace, you no doubt have already heard of enterprise tools like MindTouch Deki and Kablink to help you get the job done. These are great solutions, but for a consumer-oriented option that works right out of the box, Collanos Workplace is a terrific choice. It's cross-platform, easy to set up, open source, and free.

I gave Collanos a whirl recently and, despite a couple of minor issues that aren't show-stoppers, I was impressed with the software. While it might not be robust enough for the corporate world, it's perfect for small businesses and groups with non-technical computer users.
