The Evolution of Collaborative Innovation
,----[ Quote ]
| In those pre-Web 2.0 days, the community
| concept behind Linux and open source in
| general was mystifying to many. They were
| surprised that IBM had so strongly embraced
| Linux and were wondering what its relevance
| would be to the world of business. We spent a
| lot of time explaining that we were supporting
| Linux because it was an excellent operating
| system that ran on every single hardware
| platforms regardless of vendor or
| architecture, and would thus facilitate the
| integration of systems, applications and
| information over the Internet.
|
| A number of companies were also concerned
| about using software developed by an open,
| distributed community, as opposed to a single
| vendor, as was typically the case. So, we
| further explained that the open community
| developing Linux included some of the top
| programmers and computer scientists around the
| world. A number of IBM employees were already
| involved with this community, and several more
| would now be joining it as part of our new IBM
| Linux Technology Center. In any event, IBM
| and its partners would provide support for the
| Linux-based offerings we sold regardless of
| how they were developed.
