Christian Science Monitor Putting OSS at the Helm

Jane Walker writes to tell us that the Christian Science Monitor is becoming quite the proponent of open source. The aggressive nature of OSS was a large part of what drew CIO Curtiss Edge into the fold, it seems. From the article: "But beyond the tangibles like open source code it was the community that made a convert of Edge. Behind all the open code, it was the forums and flexibility that were the driving forces he believes breeds better developers than those that toil away with proprietary code. Open source software makes developers more aggressive and more apt to go out into the communities that exist around the software to find solutions to their problems, Edge said, rather than holding on some proprietary help desk line while tech support looks up the answer."

Neo-cons co-opted terms like Christian & Liber

[gvc]

I read CSM articles from time to time and find them reasonably well balanced.

Christians are not, in general, a bunch of intolerant anti-intellectuals.

Liberals promote tolerance, not big government and immorality.

The neo-cons smear them both.
