FOSS use and development also can be compared to bees
,----[ Quote ]
| After a few days of cleaning, bees will take on
| other hive chores like feeding larvae and
| grooming the queen, taking pollen, water and
| nectar from foraging bees and placing it where
| needed.
|
| When the new FOSS user gets beyond the 'feeling
| out' stage, they begin to identify areas that
| need improvement or finding alternatives.They
| will post specific questions on forums asking
| "how to.." and generally set about the task of
| 'tweaking' their software or app.
|
| After a few weeks of housekeeping duty, bees
| are pretty much fully developed now in terms of
| everything from flying to stinging. They now
| become ( usually) guard bees, inspecting every
| bee that comes into the hive to be sure it
| belongs and warding off any potential threats
| to the colony.

The rejuvenation of community-controlled open source
,----[ Quote ]
| Jay recently speculated, and I agreed, that we
| may be starting to see a return to support and
| other services, rather than commercial code and
| licensing, as the preferred mode to monetize
| open source.

| Linux does what I need it to do. I don't play all the
| whiz bang games and I don't need the 3D fancy pants
| stuff. That just slows me down.
