Open source at work

,----[ Quote ]
| Migrating from a proprietary licensed mindset into open source can be 
| perceived as a pretty challenging task. It is incredibly common for me to see 
| that branding power often blinds people in a way that the functionalities of 
| a software are disregarded in favor of the comforting sound of a brand name.

When Will They Ever Learn?

,----[ Quote ]
| So why aren't more such courses being run? It seems yet another example of
| institutional inertia: since most of the business world is still using
| Windows, there is an assumption that the next generation of engineers should
| be trained in that. But that's just lazy thinking: universities should be
| training future coders for the future, and from current trends it's clear
| that open source will play a huge role there. Unfortunately, it seems that
| the university authorities are still stuck in old mindsets, and are unwilling
| to take even small steps - like the one Red Hat announced away - from the
| tried and tested paths.
