What Google Really Means by 'The Meaning of Open'

,----[ Quote ]
| Read "The Meaning of Open" by Jonathan
| Rosenberg, Google senior vice president of
| product management, because it's a great read,
| but read it knowing a few things.
|
| First, Google open-sources a lot of software;
| in fact, Rosenberg claims Google is the
| largest open-source contributor in the world,
| contributing over 800 projects that total over
| 20 million lines of code to open source.

Google's Meaning of Open: Is It Yours?

,----[ Quote ]
| Google has made some headlines recently about
| its stance on privacy. This week the company
| is taliking about what "open" means to Google.
| Jonathan Rosenberg, senior vice president of
| product management for Google, says that "open
| will win" across the Internet and "then
| cascade across many walks of life." It might
| be a good idea for other businesses in the
| open business to think about what open means
| to them as well.
|
| The impetus for the post was that Rosenberg
| had been seeing disagreement within Google
| about what "open," means to the company in
| practice. It's easy to say that a company
| should be more "open," but difficult to
| execute when the people involved don't agree
| on what open is.
