Community: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly at Web 2.0 Expo
,----[ Quote ]
| My answer was colored by the fact that almost all of my friends are geeks and
| that I have been working in startups for the past couple of years. In
| startups filled with people who are passionate about software where
| participation in communities comes completely naturally. Well, the idea of an
| internal community with no community manager would work great in my little
| insular, tech-centric world. I forget that in other companies, participating
| in a community might not be so natural.

| In financial services, speed is the difference between making money and
| losing money,” said Scott Crenshaw, vice president of Red Hat’s platform
| business unit. “The result is clear: more data, faster data, means better
| trades and better decisions.”
|
| As if that weren’t enough, Crenshaw struck a blow to proprietary
| software. “We were 2.4 times faster than Sun Microsystems,” he crowed,
| comparing Red Hat’s 5.8 million updates with Sun Solaris’ record of 2.4
| million updates.

| Go, open source! Guess you should have been here for the Boston Marathon!

Exchange

| At the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the traders betting on future commodity
| price fluctuations aren't the only ones who know what it means to take a
| risk. Five years ago, Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), now part of the CME
| Group, placed a hefty bet: that it could trust Linux with the heart of its
| business, executing billions of contracts a year and processing them faster
| than previously.
