Growth Through Imitation

,----[ Quote ]
| We work in a very different environment 
| now. Teams and networking are the heart of 
| how we live. Sharing ideas and concepts 
| which get developed through collaboration 
| is a way of life. Open Source software is 
| one of the most obvious examples; 
| development through imitation and 
| refinement for the good of all.

Challenging the Limits of Open Society

,----[ Quote ]
| In that essay, Eric S. Raymond, a software 
| programmer, heralded the rise of the Linux 
| operating system and the bottom-up, open-
| source, we-the-people world that it 
| reflected. He wrote that old-style software 
| was âbuilt like cathedrals, carefully 
| crafted by individual wizards or small 
| bands of mages working in splendid 
| isolation.â Open-source pointed to a new 
| way: âa great babbling bazaar of differing 
| agendas and approaches,â as he put it, âout 
| of which a coherent and stable system could 
| seemingly emerge only by a succession of 
| miracles.â
| 
| Mr. Raymondâs immediate subject was 
| software, but his essay spoke for the age. 
| It was a moment when democracy seemed on 
| the march worldwide, when âthe end of 
| historyâ had been declared by Francis 
| Fukuyama, when new tools called Web logs, 
| or blogs, promised to empower the little 
| guy. In that moment, as went the open-
| source technology, so went the world.

Open source training more attractive to workers

,----[ Quote ]
| Schools are heeding the call from
| organizations seeking IT personnel skilled
| in open source, but such efforts must
| involve broader industry participation and
| greater integration across the curriculum,
| according to an analyst.
|
| With regard to open source modules, Patrick
| Chan, chief technology advisor for IDC
| Asia-Pacific's emerging technologies
| practice group, said a more concerted
| effort is required on the part of
| institutions to move universities in the
| same direction.
