Open Source Book a Collective Effort

Hairy1 writes "The New Zealand Open Source Society has begun a project to write a book to put the case for open source use in business and government. There is a need for a book which clearly puts the case for using open source, and provides a clear migration plan. Already five authors and several reviewers have stepped forward to commit time to writing the book. However, other authors and reviewers would be welcome to join the project."

Linux?

[Amsterdam Vallon]

I read thru the prerelease versions of this manual but was very suprised & disapointed to see a strong bias against many well known and popular case studies that include Linux as the primery variable in the software+hardware ``equation".

I think that with all the amazing examples of Linux powering powerful business to business and Web portal shopping sites, it'd be a simple tale to examinne Linux in the ``real" corporate enviorment as opposed to the very theoritecial and academic feel to the current manual page.

Linux just plain works for all businesses ---- so lets use it to our advantage. Stop getting general and get more specific?!
