Iâve Seen the Data: Economy Goes Down, Open Source Goes Up

,----[ Quote ]
| I know everyone's been saying it:  The 
| economic downturn will drive more people to 
| open source.  Because OpenLogic sells 
| support on 500 projects as well as open 
| source governance services and solutions, we 
| get a very broad view of enterprise use of 
| open source. After analyzing our Q3 and 2009 
| results, I've seen the data, and I'm here to 
| tell you that open source is looking good.

Where the battle lines are drawn

,----[ Quote ]
| To where do we take the battle in support of 
| OpenSource and Free Software? We are told to 
| choose our battles carefully and not to 
| fight where it is least effective.

Three Economic Nobel Laureates In A Row Recognizing Power Of Infinite Goods

,----[ Quote ]
| With the Nobel Prize in Economics being awarded to
| Elinor Ostrom (as well as Oliver Williamson) this
| year, plenty of people are noting that Ostrom's
| seminal work has to do with how the concept of
| "the tragedy of the commons" isn't really true in
| many cases, and how that "commons" can often self-
| regulate itself. And, Ostrom definitely recognizes
| how this applies to the "commons" that is the
| public domain. I didn't want to comment right away
| on this. While I've read Ostrom's work in the
| past, I wanted to revisit some of it, to refresh
| myself on it.
