Commentary: Convergence ignites growth of open-source collaboration

,----[ Quote ]
| A heated debate between advocates of closed vs. open software development has 
| been boiling in the electronics and high-tech industries for decades. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| In an open environment, companies can collaborate on a common development 
| platform, but then compete on the innovative nature of the products. By 
| sharing the work using an open infrastructure, companies have the ability to 
| get products to market faster and at reduced risk.

Concept Distro

,----[ Quote ]
| In the Linux world, while we appear to have direct competitions between the 
| distributions, the reality is that we co-operate far more than you might 
| expect unless you’re involved with development.  A Concept Distro would need 
| upstream work from just about everybody.   
| 
| And would such a thing help convert people from Windows or Mac OS?  If it 
| would, maybe it’s a good idea after all.
