Recession Buster: Open Source's Moment
,----[ Quote ]
| With a tough economy forcing organizations to look for ways to cut costs—and
| with many open source projects reaching a maturity level that IT executives
| are comfortable with—the technology might be on the verge of making serious
| inroads into corporate IT environments
|
| Not that long ago, open source software was regarded by many technology
| leaders as something to be used in a limited, even experimental way. Even
| today, some CIOs are skeptical about open source as a viable option for
| enterprise applications or to support critical business functions.

| Proprietary software companies in power today will probably tell you just the
| opposite. “Society can never advance without proprietary software,” they
| say. “Nobody would pay developers to write the software if money could not
| be earned directly from its sale.” I could go into how companies have
| managed to get rich by doing exactly that, but I won’t. Instead, think of it
| this way. The cost to develop the software is actually very low. Take a
| look at any company you want. You will see that the actual programmers make
| up a very very small percentage of the staff. Most companies don’t release
| enough data about this kind of thing to actually make that well known.

In Open Source Denial
,----[ Quote ]
| CIOs deny the existence of Open Source within the enterprise, but their
| hiring patterns tell a different story.
|
| According to a report written by me in partnership with O'Reilly Research,
| there's more Open Source (OS) in the enterprise than most people think.
