Open Source Means Business
,----[ Quote ]
| But some entrepreneurs have found ways to build their companies on a
| shoestring using open source software, and they have figured out how to make
| money off something generally considered free.
|
| Take Brian Behlendorf, an open source pioneer who recounts those early
| days. "The term 'free software' made it sound like an anti-capitalist
| movement, yet the reality is we were hardcore capitalists," he says. "We
| liked a lot of the attributes of that type of software and felt a rebranding
| effort was needed. That is when the term 'open source' was coined."

Open Source and Social Media: Community, Collaboration, Freedom
,----[ Quote ]
| To most people, the term "open source" immediately conjures an image of two
| geeks sitting in a dark room (probably a basement) -- curtains drawn,
| McDonald's remains strewn across the desk, and 42 oz sodas within arms'
| reach -- coding away at their computers, listening to Linkin Park or a game
| soundtrack.

Gameloft Moves 1,000 Desktops to Ubuntu Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| “It’s been a pretty big deployment, well over 1000 desktops and it’s been a
| huge success,” crows the source. “Ubuntu does the same job [as Windows] for
| zero cash. The most painful thing about the change over was moving to
| Thunderbird from Outlook. No one has batted an eyelid about moving to Gnome.”
