| new business models, may be the harbinger of many
| great fortunes to come in many fields.

| and grow it if you want open source to prosper in 2009.

| We’re also focusing directly on the needs of our
| community, and not the buzz-word du jour. How much
| value does a piece of commercial software have
| when we might be able to replace it in six
| months? Customers might not care about truly
| open source software in large numbers now,
| but I’m willing to bet they will. I’m wondering who’s betting they won’t?
