Win- Google's Chrome and the return of browser competition - The 2008 arrival of Google's Chrome brought more active competitionin the open source web browser world. With the Linux and Mac ports ofChrome appearingin 2009, the Google browser has been shaping up to give all thebrowser makers some real competition. Mozilla's future plans forFirefox include a lookand feel like Chrome, and processseparation, like Chrome. HTML5 is also driving developmentforward as both Google and Mozilla work to make the browser aself-sufficient environment for future web applications.

Failand Win - The Apache.org Intrusion - TheApache.org site was takenoffline in August after an SSH key compromise allowed attackersinto the system. An unfortunate fail, but at least the damage waslimited. In the course of investigating what happened, the ApacheInfrastructure Team produced a detailedreport on what went wrong which made it clear what happened, whatwas affected and what lessons the team and other administrators couldlearn f-rom the intrusion; a real win in demonstrating howtransparency over incidents can help improve security.
