SCALE7x: Open source in an economic downturn
,----[ Quote ]
| If you work with open source software, you have less to worry about in the
| current economic downturn, according to John Todd of Digium — the company
| behind the Asterisk telephony platform. Todd presented his ideas at SCALE in
| Los Angeles, arguing that many of the same factors that put jobs and revenue
| at risk in the proprietary software industry actually benefit open source
| projects and, by extension, provide job security for developers,
| implementers, and consultants who work with open source.

Economic Slowdown Accelerates Linux Growth in Mobile Handsets
,----[ Quote ]
| With deteriorating global economic conditions making their impact felt in the
| wireless industry, handset OEMs and mobile network operators are looking to
| Linux-based operating systems to cut costs and diversify their handset
| portfolios, reports IMS Research.
|
| While Linux-based operating systems have had a presence in the mobile handset
| market for years, growth has been slow and steady until recently. However,
| recent announcements from Motorola, Vodafone, HTC, and Huawei, among others,
| all stating that Linux-based operating systems will figure in to their
| upcoming handset releases, clearly demonstrate that OEMs and operators are
| ready to embrace Linux software on a larger scale, according to IMS Research.
