What's Wrong with the Open Source Community?

Posted by Hemos on Monday December 1, 2003 @04:45AM from the time-to-beat-outselves-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "We Have Met The Enemy and He Is Us says a Pogo-quoting James Turner, in trying to pinpoint "What's Wrong with the Open Source Community?" for LinuxWorld this morning. But he doesn't *just* say that it's we developers ourselves, he also has five hard-to-deny reasons, including 'Open source developers often scratch the same itch' and 'Open Source developers love a good feud.' He also suggests we often approach the whole issue of encouraging migration to Linux from Windows entirely wrongly." There's also a decent rebuttal with this story as well - worth reading.

Why is this moderated +5 Interesting instead of -1 Off-Topic? What does Chairman Mao have to do with open-source software?

Criminy, Moderators, do you even KNOW what the points are for?
