The 14 Key Events that led to a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Revolution
,----[ Quote ]
| The last quartile of the 20th century was marked
| by a rise in software development by companies,
| individuals and hobbyist groups. Key among
| software development methodologies was a
| controversial yet innovative idea about giving
| away your software code for others to use and
| improve upon it.
|
| Those new to the free and open source community
| may not appreciate how radical and dangerous the
| idea of giving away your source code for free
| was for people. Those that did subscribe to the
| ideology sacrificed tremendous profits and fame
| yet helped create what we now call FOSS today.

Choosing Open Source Solutions
,----[ Quote ]
| Finding the right open source product is just as
| important as the decision to use an open source
| product to begin with. In every business
| software environment there are a few common
| components. There is the commercial product
| we've all used for years. There are the two or
| three popular open source alternatives, and
| there is a list of migration headaches we all
| experience that eventually becomes the list of
| reasons why we should stick with what worked
| before. Occasionally there is a product that
| inspires us to stay in the fight. A classic
| example we can all relate to is a product most
| of us use all day, every day: the email client.
