It’s All About Community

,----[ Quote ]
| I have a strange mind. I read quickly and extract information that sometimes 
| others miss. Images jump out at me, almost off the page. This is true for  
| novels or weblogs. Afterwards, I think about it and it is the images that 
| spring to mind. I can’t even remember a joke verbatim. It is just the way my 
| mind works.   
| 
| So when I think of Linux, I think of community. There is lots more to Linux, 
| but it is community that springs to my mind. That is probably because it is 
| like a Second Life for me. I spend much time out there, in the Linux 
| community. But when I think of community, I think of only one thing, Ubuntu.

Ubuntu and the French Revolution: A Study 

,----[ Quote ]
| The one connection that I can draw between revolutionary France and the 
| free-software community, however, is their shared obsession with ideological 
| evangelism, or spreading their own supposed freedoms to the rest of the 
| world, whether the rest of the world likes it or not.  Indeed, the goal of 
| bringing Linux to every desktop is rarely questioned.

Open Source In Obama's Tech Agenda

,----[ Quote ]
| Much noise has been made in the past week or so about President-elect Barack
| Obama's creation of a governmental chief tech officer position. My question
| is: What will be their stance on open source? Will they lean towards it,
| mandate it, forbid it ... or ignore it entirely? I looked into it, and came
| away feeling we had much bigger problems looming.

Note to Obama: Consider the Open Source Way

,----[ Quote ]
| The product will be much better in the end, and the development process will
| be much more pleasant for all of us. Moreover, we will get more favorable
| press coverage, better reviews, and more fans of our product if our story can
| focus on the product and its benefits rather than negative drama arising from
| its production.
