Fotango COO quits job during keynote speech
,----[ Quote ]
| A splash of drama hit OSCON this morning, as the COO of software maker
| Fotango resigned from the company during his keynote, protesting a decision
| not to open source the Zimki utility computing platform.
|
| [...]
|
| According to Wardley, a successful, open utility computing layer will depend
| on open standards -- namely the General Public License v3 (GPL), which
| Wardley pointed to again and again.
|
| "Open source is not a tactic. It is not a strategy. It is the only practical
| way of competing in this marketplace."
