Start-up built on free software
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source programs, which started to gain currency around the dot-com boom
| in the late 1990s, initially had difficulty attracting mainstream users
| because volunteer-maintained software was thought to be less reliable and
| less secure than products from blue chip technology providers like IBM and
| Microsoft. But over the past 10 years, as such open source programs as
| Apache, Linux, and MySql have been integrated into mainstream corporate
| technology settings, acceptance has steadily increased.

The dawn of a new Cloudera
,----[ Quote ]
| Given the current economic outlook it’s great to see a new open source
| start-up rearing its head, and the list of founders indicates that this one
| has a good chance of survival. While VentureBeat is focused on the fact that
| Ex-Google, Yahoo, and Facebook employees are on the team, my eye was caught
| by the fact that Mike Oslon, Sleepycat Software founder and former CEO has
| been tempted out of semi-retirement.
