The Open Source Public Relations Engine
,----[ Quote ]
| Has Open Source lost its mojo? Has it become so common place that there are
| no real innovations to talk about? Or is it simply the summer lull? Before
| you fire up the flame throwers, I will assure you that I do not think Open
| Source has lost a step. It is still exciting, vibrant and diverse. Just
| looking at some of the tips on the left shows me that there is always
| something to learn. The topics across the top are always changing to reflect
| everything and anything you can do with Open Source software.
