Dan Gillmor's Sunday column this week is all about Mitch Kapor's Open Source Application Foundation, a nonprofit that is building a standards-defined, free[speech|beer] personal information manager. It's gonna be a mailer, a calendar app, an address book, you get the picture: it's Outlook. Except it won't suck. It won't create gaping security holes in your machine. And it will be available for Linux, OS X and Win32. Did I mention free? Of course Mitch has got a great track-record setting up foundations, including my favorite, the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
