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....
