Open Source: The Next Frontier for Data Quality Management
,----[ Quote ]
| It's clear that an open source solution for data quality offers many benefits
| to clients over conventional solutions. Open source provides all businesses
| access to critical data quality solutions that can positively impact their
| overall profitability, growth, and competitive position. Furthermore, the
| existence of the open source community enables a solution users' immediate
| access to shared knowledge and implementation enhancements, rather than
| waiting months or years for another software release. Open source can offer
| organizations the most customer-centric data quality solution available in
| the marketplace today with flexibility, customization, and significant cost
| advantages.

How Open Technology Could Lead Us Out Of Recession
,----[ Quote ]
| At the same time, the United States has not only lost its former dominance in
| world technology, it is rapidly achieving a status of "a nation of
| shopkeepers".
|
| We need to remove the barriers to entering the market. We need to be the
| innovators in science and technology again. We need to regain the excitement
| we had about scientific progress back in the 1940's and 1950's. We need
| technicians in white lab coats, and we need to look up to them because they
| are giving us wonderful things like atomic power and trips to the moon again.
| We need kids to be excited about getting a chemistry set again. We need to
| let those garage start-ups break out of that garage and open up their own
| factory. We need to bring back homebrew computer clubs. We need people who
| can say that they know something about computers besides how to turn one on.
|
| In short, we need more geeks. Geeks make money.

No Recession at Red Hat
,----[ Quote ]
| It is flattering to be mentioned, Mr. Whitehurst said, but he noted that
| corporate customers and the industry benefit from what he called Red
| Hat’s “Switzerland status” — not being a province of one of the major powers
| in the technology industry.
