Open Source is a rubber ball
,----[ Quote ]
| If an open source project turns proprietary
| then there will be a fork and the open
| source lives on. The open source culture is
| all about freedom. Freedom of information.
| Those who try and limit their information
| only end up limiting themselves, not those
| around them. This is why proprietary
| companies have come and gone yet open
| source has out lived them all. When those
| proprietary companies head off to the
| failed company afterlife. All of their
| secrets and locked in knowledge, goes with
| them. When individual open source projects
| are shut down then nothing is lost. The
| information is still available for
| effective usage in other projects.

Health IT's Brewsters Millions

| There is a real possibility and a likely
| political calculus that these public goods
| type organizations such as RECs and
| training programs are structurally set to
| fail or claim a type of illusory 'success'.
| Proprietary EHR companies will be all too
| happy to point to such failures as proof
| that they can get the job done.
|
| With proprietary EHR software, it can all
| be boiled down to one question: How can
| allowing taxpayer funding of more opacity
| (proprietary licensed EHR's) and not
| directly funding more transparency (open
| source licensed EHR's) in a health care
| system be a good thing?

Open Source BI Efficiency
,----[ Quote ]
| Over 300 organizations currently using BI
| took part in the study, which examined how
| they prioritize their use of BI resources.
| Of those, 71 indicated they are actively
| using open source software as one (or more)
| of the primary components of their BI
| implementation. Thirteen of those 71 were
| using open source products exclusively to
| provide BI to their business community. The
| remainder used some combination of open
| source and traditionally licensed software
| or subscription based software (software as
| a service).
