Innovation, information technology and the culture of freedom 

,----[ Quote ]
| Open Source is not necessarily anti-
| capÃtalist. There are many capitalist firms, 
| including very large corporate firms that 
| practice open source. But it is a-capitalist, 
| meaning that Open Source is compatible with 
| different social logics and values. It does 
| not need the incentive of profit to work, and 
| does not rely on the private appropriation of 
| the exclusive right to use and enjoy the 
| product. It is based on a form of social 
| organization that has profound political 
| implications and may affect the way we think 
| about the need to preserve capitalist 
| institutions and hierarchies of production to 
| manage the requirements of a complex world.

Apache Incubator: Extraordinary Made Ordinary, the Subversion case

,----[ Quote ]
| Few days ago Subversion has been submitted
| to the Apache Incubator, a move praised by
| many as the natural fit for both projects,
| both for technical reasons (Apache projects
| use Subversion, Subversion relies on many
| Apache projects) and a shared vision about
| IP (same license) and community governance
| (same voting process).

Apache: 'No jerks allowed'

,----[ Quote ]
| It seems like reasonable advice, but it's
| discouraging to see this basic rule of polite
| society regularly broken within the wider open-
| source community. Some feel that a license to
| code is a license to shout others down. It's
| not. At least, not at Apache.

Apache Software Foundation: 10 years and still open to innovation

,----[ Quote ]
| It's been 10 years since the Apache Software
| Foundation hung out its feather, creating
| what has become a series of communities
| filled with focused project entrepreneurs
| working on a laundry list of innovative
| efforts, one of which landed in the White
| House just a few weeks ago.

Live from ApacheCon: Subversion Joins ASF

,----[ Quote ]
| The Apache Software Foundation is
| celebrating 10 years since its
| incorporation, and so we're partying like
| it's 1999 here at ApacheCon. By which I mean
| ApacheCon has remained true to its roots
| with a community-driven feel that seemed
| more common in the Open Source events of 10
| years ago.

,----[ Quote ]
| Money can't buy everything, especially when
| it comes to freely available open source
| software from the Apache Software Foundation
