The Open Group's New Open Source Strategy

Bruce Perens writes "The Open Group hasn't always had the best reputation in the Open Source community, mostly because of their handling of Motif, which remained proprietary for much too long. But there's no arguing with the success of our community, and now the Open Group leadership understands that their organization must be fully involved in Open Source... or it's time for them to change their name. To that end, the Open Group contracted me to develop an Open Source strategy for their organization. The draft strategy has been published and they are requesting comment. - Bruce"

Maybe if I used very small words and stopped myself from thinking before I replied, my posts would be grammatically correct like yours.

C is my primary language, English is an afterthought.

Both Gnome and KDE have become far, far superior to Motif in a far shorter amount of time.

Yes, they have certainly helped to fuck up the Linux/free OS desktops. Two more competing widget sets. Way to go, OS!
