Regarding the mouse: if you would no longer like the rodent company, try the sound emitter type of mouse deterent. Set it up in the basement, if your office space has one.

When I noted the weird disclaimer at OSM this morning over their name, I wasn’t wholly tuned into the story. One can find more details here at a site called, well, “Open Source” which has a production company called, well, “Op…

Here’s what OSM has to say about the name on their site:

http://osm.org/site/story/11172005osmflap?currow=2

IMHO, all well and good so far (although I’d like to hear Chris’ thoughts on being called a gentleman with a website) except in my complete layman’s opinion, isn’t there likelihood of confusion when you have a radio show called Open Source and a company called Open Source Media? If Open Source were a sub shop in a Massachusetts strip mall, OK, no problem, but it’s a syndicated show…

The New Open Source Media (Pajamas Media) Has Begun — But What Does It Mean? (UPDATE)

It’s official: Pajamas Media, has now been launched but they’ve axed the old name for the new name Open Source Media (TMV doesn’t even OWN pajamas).

But a new controversy has erupted over whether they’ve usurped someone else’s name.

Open Source (Pajamas) Media

Whether the board at PM/OSM will stick with the OSM name, or be forced to select another one, is something for them to figure out, but I still think the concept is a good one.

I’ve been troubled by the moniker Open Source from the start – the name has such an important and specific meaning in the software community, it just seems wierd to take it for a radio show, no matter how networked and cool it is. And don’t get me wrong – I love the radio show and am addicted to the podcast. I risk strangulation to listen to it in bed on my iPod. But maybe now is the time to bite the bullet and pick a distinctive name that you can make your own.

Someone didn’t do their homework

Pajamas Media, the folks who signed up some 300-plus bloggers for a “subversive new media” and then uncerimoniously dropped the 270-plus small-fry, publicly announced they had renamed themselves to Open Souce Media last night.
Unfortunate…

As a software engineer, and someone who manages a citizen journalism resource in Philadelphia, and someone who uses a creative commons license, I find their use of the phrase “open source” offensive media marketing blather.

I second what Steven Den Beste said. In light of the new OSM’s licensing terms – doubly so.
