Charity, open source, and happiness
,----[ Quote ]
| A few months back Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise
| Institute, delivered an address (audio here) at my alma mater, Brigham Young
| University, titled "Why Giving Matters." While focused on charitable giving
| and its multiplicative value on a nation's gross domestic product (GDP), it
| also tells us a lot about why developers contribute to open-source projects.

Interview: Karen Tegan Padir, MySQL VP, On This Week's MySQL Conference
,----[ Quote ]
| OStatic: What do you think are the biggest barriers to adoption of open
| source in business? Lack of support? Lack of evangelism and marketing? Lack
| of training?
|
| I don't think it's any of those things, I just think it's just a matter of
| time. I worked at Red Hat for several years. When I worked there,
| conventional wisdom said that Linux was a toy, that it wasn't reliable or
| ready for mission-critical deployment. People sure aren't saying that
| anymore!
