Getting a handle on open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Whether they know it or not, almost every enterprise has open source
| technologies installed. And with hundreds of thousands of open source
| projects floating around that are derived from countless pieces of source
| code that are subject to any number of licenses, it's imperative to implement
| governance measures to mitigate legal and operational risks.

Smells like FUD. Diversity... scary. That's why free software is better.

Open source is good for IT
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source is good for IT (the customer), period. I believe it is us, IT
| customers, who are driving open source adoption. In a way, it reminds me of
| the music industry, and how digital music was driven not by the big music
| companies, but by consumers.

Hypertable Lead Discusses Hadoop and Distributed Databases
,----[ Quote ]
| At the time that we started on the project, an open source Bigtable
| implementation did not exist, so we decided to build it ourselves. The reason
| that we chose open source is because we felt that an open source
| implementation of Bigtable would be inevitable. By leading the development
| effort, we would have a leg up on the competition in terms of knowledge,
| expertise, and credibility.

Hip-hip-Hadoop!
,----[ Quote ]
| Just one more reason why the Microsoft-Yahoo merger, if it happens, will be
| hell:

| Go[t] that? 10,000 core processors running GNU/Linux at the heart of Yahoo.
| Microsoft is damned if they do (rip and replace) and damned if they don't. Go
| on, make our day, Steve....
