The Cost Savings of FOSS: Business Success for the Wrong Reason

,----[ Quote ]
| Controlling costs is a natural concern of any company. Nor can Zemlin be 
| faulted for doing his job and promoting FOSS by any available means. Still, 
| this emphasis makes me seriously uneasy as a FOSS advocate.  
| 
| The problem is not that business is becoming more deeply involved with FOSS. 
| That has been a reality now for years, and the majority in the FOSS community 
| have long ago made their peace with the fact. If nothing else, FOSS would not 
| be as advanced as it is today without the massive contributions made by 
| corporations.

Red Hat returns to the Linux desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| Does this mean that Red Hat will be getting back into the Linux desktop
| business? That's the question I posed to Red Hat CTO Brian Stevens, in a
| phone call after the Red Hat/KVM press conference, and he told me that, "Yes.
| Red Hat will indeed be pushing the Linux desktop again."
