Distributed Science, Part 2

,----[ Quote ]
| Let's take off the open source glasses. 
| Making science isn't like making software. 
| Engineering foundations for distribution, 
| for user hacking, for bringing more people 
| into the system, these are the things that 
| allowed open source to emerge in software. 
| Good design choices, like separation of 
| concerns, led us to the world of open 
| source software. Let's learn from those 
| lessons and build the foundations first, 
| and let the science surprise us with the 
| way it localizes distributed and user 
| driven innovation.

| When looking at the download counter more
| than 100.000.000 people downloaded
| OpenOffice.org since version 3.0 was
| released about a year ago. I think this is
| something we need to celebrate next week at
| the OpenOffice.org conference in Orvieto,
| Italy.
