What open source can teach charity
,----[ Quote ]
| The period from the aftermath of the Time-AOL deal in 2000 to the rise of
| open source as a business model in 2005 was a hard one for many in the tech
| community.
|
| One of its aftereffects remains with us, a shortage of young people
| interested in computer programming as a career.
|
| But when many people got pink slips back at the dawn of this century, we
| didn’t stop working. We kept at it. Many of our best open source projects
| were the product of this time. The benefits are still with us.
|
| Now that it’s time for open source to give back, let me start by offering the
| charities some advice.

| anti-trust body was investigating Intel and the EU Commission also had its
| eye on Intel's behaviour.
