Last time I collected some other street names, now just found that Hankook Tire – who are building a tire factory in Hungary – has its headquarters at 2459 Rácalmás, Hankook tér 1.

Nokia street · 28 October 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi
While playing around with a company search service (FN Cegtar Light) I typed in Nokia.
Looks like Nokia has two hungarian subsidiaries, Nokia Hungary Kft (Kft is similar to the German GmbH and the English-speaking world’s LLC) and Nokia Komarom Kft. The latter is located in the city of Komarom and it is a research center if I recall it correctly.
This is not really interesting until we look at the headquarter’s address: 2900 Komárom, Nokia utca 1.
Jesus, we got a Nokia street!
It is not really common here that streets are named after companies, however, some older hungarian companies do have streets named after them, like Videoton, but Nokia is a foreign one and not operating here since more than 20 years.
I am curious when will we have a local One Infinite Loop or One Tesco Way :)
Update: looks like this is old news, Index had an article about it two years ago. There is also a Samsung square and Agip street.
Siqon · 30 June 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi
After leaving my previous job, finally an old plan (dream) came true: I finally incorporated my own company specialised in the multimedia and open source / free software field. It’s name is siqon.
I have great plans in the works, wish good luck for it. And feel free to contact about work possibilites :)

Goodbye Siemens · 20 June 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi
I am changing companies. In the last ~14 months I was working at Siemens PSE Hungary (for some reason I didn’t found an english version) - which is a subsidiary of Siemens Austria -, doing multimedia and unix related programming.
It was a great place to work, I had good co-workers, good working conditions and the place had a nice attitude.
However, my plans doesn’t match with Siemens’ so I decided to leave them. Good memories.
Motorola goes opensource · 17 May 2006 by Alex Beregszaszi
Motorola’s opensource portal went live! It is like a mini Sourceforge, even projects can have wiki pages.
As a first try, I downloaded the kernel for the A1200: it’s a zip package, which contains a tar.gzipped (another compression) Linux kernel version 2.4.17. Nice. Hopefully they wil even open source own written code..
Interesting is the arch/arm/mach-ezx/ directory, which contains machine specific code for the EZX platform. Motorola calls its Linux based phone platform EZX. Maybe the OpenEZX has to do something with the release of these sources?
Added this to my ever growing coporate open source portal list.
Update: Harald Welte, the guy behind OpenEZX already analyzed released sources.

I am really interested in the possibilities of cooperation and coexistence between free software, open source, corporations and proprietary software. This page is devoted for links on these topics, it will grow with time. Feel free to add your links in comments.
