Growing open source ecosystems: the install story

,----[ Quote ]
| While I believe that an open source project 
| like Mylyn should welcome all integrations, 
| an indefinitely increasing support burden 
| is not scalable and can reduce the time 
| available for innovation. We need to avoid 
| the Easter Island effect where everyone 
| builds themselves self-serving heads 
| without prioritizing the long-term health 
| of the ecosystem within which they operate 
| (see Easter Island/Collapse of the 
| Ecosystem).

Software pricing: to hide or not to hide? That is the question â Or have the Bazaar's Principles become obsolete?

,----[ Quote ]
| Software vendors donât like so much 
| publishing their prices on the web site. 
| They will explain they have a very complex 
| price list, or can be very creative 
| justifying why they canât. But to make a 
| long story short: they just donât want to. 
| I donât see the value for the client to 
| hide the price. And thatâs exactly why they 
| donât like to show it.

| maps, leveraging Mule Data Integrator's

| descriptions. The designer reduces the 
| ongoing maintenance burden with automated 
| version upgrades and regression testing.

Black Duck Software

,----[ Quote ]
| One reason I am curious about this (outside 
| of the fact that I really dislike the 
| fauxpen source business model that Zenoss 
| uses and like to point out flaws whenever I 
| can) is that if you look at the Zenoss 
| Subscriber Agreement (pdf), there is a very 
| odd clause required of all users who buy 
| the enterprise version that forbids 
| forking.
