There's something different about OpenSource people
,----[ Quote ]
| It's actually kind of unfortunate that many of the folks who work on
| providing OpenSource software don't get the recognition, or at least the
| respect they deserve.
|
| Starting with Linus and moving right down along to your local "community"
| distro developers, the overwhelming majority of the people involved are techs
| and admins and programmers who don't see what they do as just a job or a
| hobby.

Weapons Of Mass Collaboration
,----[ Quote ]
| The dominance of Windows was questioned by 40,000 volunteer developers, with
| Linux, open source becoming a new way to innovate. The otherwise strangers
| became partners with sheer joy of sharing. The “Linux philosophy” is being
| applied in large enterprises as well, which now feel even larger by including
| supply chains in their innovation. In P&G’s “connect & develop” program, new
| concepts are discussed with experts located across the globe, but are at
| arm’s length in a virtual world.
