Why Open Source?

,----[ Quote ]
| Managers are quickly realizing the benefit 
| that community-based development can have 
| on their businesses. The real-time 
| communication and transparency their 
| developers are discovering in open source 
| communities are exactly what internal 
| development teams need in order to create 
| in a more agile way and meet the increasing 
| business demand for delivering higher-
| quality software with reduced development 
| cycles.

What is the future of open source software?

,----[ Quote ]
| The open source movement has changed the 
| course of modern software development. 
| Certainly, Linux has been the most 
| prominent example so far, but there is far 
| more to come. Open source continues to 
| infiltrate mainstream development at an 
| ever faster pace. As that happens, the 
| rules change too.
| 
| Open source Eclipse tools overturned the 
| IDE business. Open source frameworks helped 
| drive Ajax. Open source unit testers are 
| now par for the course. In the form of 
| Hibernate and Spring, open source has 
| challenged the conventional application 
| server stack. Open source has penetrated 
| the mysterious world of BPM in the form of 
| BPEL and various rules engines. Open source 
| software is on the evaluation list for more 
| and more messaging and enterprise service 
| bus projects.

Linus Torvalds- The future of Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| In fifteen years, I expect somebody else to
| come along and say, hey, I can do everything
| that Linux can do but I can be lean and mean
| about it because my system won't have twenty
| years of baggage holding it back. They'll say
| Linux was designed for the 386 and the new
| CPUs are doing the really interesting things
| differently. Let's drop this old Linux stuff.
| This is essentially what I did when creating
| Linux. And in the future, they'll be able to
| look at our code, and use our interfaces, and
| provide binary compatibility, and if all that
| happens I'll be happy.
