On (Open Source) software development
,----[ Quote ]
| ...I continue to be thrilled with how so many big IT shops have realized
| that open source gives them the option to wean themselves off of these
| massive infrastructure expenditures which require inordinate amounts of
| customization and which they then have to support themselves.

| [...]
|
| There is no software product that meets the needs of every
| user--which is exactly why open source makes so much sense.
| Provide a quality core and let the needs of the users be developed
| by the users, and when possible be brought back in for the greater
| good.
