Steven Chu Suggests Open Source to Design Net-Zero Energy Buildings

,----[ Quote ]
| âWeâre talking about an open-source software platform,â Chu 
| said. âYou begin to develop a method, just as there is Windows 
| or LinuxâThere is still incentive for private commercial 
| development, but you set the building industry on a new 
| commercial path.â

Next: An Internet Revolution in Higher Education

,----[ Quote ]
| Scott McNealy, former CEO of Sun Microsystems (JAVA), met me for 
| breakfast at an unassuming little restaurant in a strip mall 
| tucked into the woods a few minutes' drive from his house. We 
| discussed one of his recent passions: applying technology's 
| open-source model to education. Sun was an early proponent of 
| open source, giving the concept a huge boost when it opened up 
| its Java software. And McNealy funded and helped promote a 
| project called Curriki to create open-source textbooks that will 
| ultimately be free, via the Internet.
