Open Government and Open Source at the Department of Defense - Part 2
,----[ Quote ]
| Web 2.0 is about mass collaboration and open source is about collaboration
| also. There absolutely are some synergies there in both directions. The
| collaborative techniques of web 2.0 and mass collaboration are the same
| things that have driven open source to be successful. The most successful
| open source projects are the ones that provide value to people which then
| encourages those people to become developers, and then they add enhancements
| and so that same virtual cycle that powers things like wikipedia also
| powering open source software.
