Finding opportunity amidst gloom in 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| Adding a slightly different perspective on what companies need to do to stay
| afloat, open source software vendor Red Hat's APJ president, Gery Messer,
| told BizIT that the biggest challenge this year is to help businesses realise
| the value of open source.
|
| 'Open source delivers value through the subscription model which enables
| companies to change their IT spending from CapEx (capital expenditure) to
| OpEx (operational expenditure).' Open source also delivers the value of
| customer - and community - driven innovation, Mr Messer said.

The smallest threat to open source in 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| I’d clarify that to say that managers feeling it’s dangerous doesn’t actually
| make it so — but it does make it so for all intents and purposes in the
| corporate environment, when it comes to technology implementation decisions.
| When the higher-up says “I think the closed source software offering is
| better, because I have these concerns about the open source software
| alternative,” his or her subordinate (and perhaps more technically inclined)
| IT worker will eventually reach a point where he or she must either make
| decisions limited by the manager’s fears or polish his resume. Take it from
| someone who knows from personal experience.

| The last thing I want to see is Linux, thanks in part to the OEM’s, devolve
| into the same mind numbing bloatware nonsense that currently plagues Windows.
