Wikipedia Co-Founder: Openness Is Not the Enemy of Quality
,----[ Quote ]
| Wikipedia is NOT about crowdsourcing: Jimmy
| compared crowdsouring to tricking people into
| free labor. Instead, he compared Wikipedia to
| bowling. Yes, bowling. âItâs about providing a
| nice bowling alley for people,â he stated as
| he explained that when people enjoy
| contributing rather than being tricked in free
| labor, itâs not crowdsouring.
|
| The world is information dense: Culture has
| become smarter. He compared the plots and
| jokes of I Love Lucy to Seinfeld and just how
| much more complicated storylines have become.
| TV has become a more engaging experience
| because there are so many more characters and
| storylines. He then pointed out Lostpedia, a
| wiki for the TV show Lost which has over 5,700
| articles. Yes, thatâs how complex TV shows
| have become.

Brian Behlendorf, Founding Member of the Apache Software Foundation Speaks on How Open Source Developers Can Save the World
,----[ Quote ]
| Q: Please tell us a bit about your history
| with with Web
|
| Brian Behlendorf: I have been on the ânet
| since I started at UC Berkeley as an undergrad
| in 1991. While working at a new magazine
| called Wired in 1993, I helped them launch the
| first major publisherâs website, then later
| one of the first ad-supported sites, called
| HotWired. I left that in 1995 to co-found a
| company named Organic which built commercial
| websites, then launched another company in
| 1999 named CollabNet, which creates open
| source development tools and communities. I
| spent 2007 and 2008 doing quite a bit of
| public speaking and travel to promote Open
| Source software collaboration practices across
| the tech sector, and then since February Iâve
| been in Washington DC helping the Federal
| sector understand where Open Source software
| can help address some big challenges.

Making Corporate FOSS Successful
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm a community guy. In a company that has
| lots of products, both open source and
| commercial, I'm lucky enough to get paid to
| work on open source projects. What I've
| learned in my work with the community is that
| building a successful project takes more than
| many people think.
