Open Source About the People
An anonymous reader writes "InfoWorld has a nice look at what defines an open source venture. It seems that the main area of interest, and difficulty, rests with the personnel surrounding the project. From the article: 'But the muddier waters are around the personalities and commitment of the engineers who created the code. How long do they intend to stay? What is their level of commitment? These are fuzzy types of questions - but we know from history that when the core team of engineers that best understands the code up and walks out ... it tends to send a company into a death spiral.'"
The link that post contained pointed to what may well be the most informative, insightful, and entertaining read I've had all year.
How was this even posted without a link? I know it's a running joke here that noone reads the articles before commenting, but at least give people a chance!
I appreciate that the editors don't (edit, that is), but really...
It's official. Most of you are morons.
I disagree, but alas, I am not a duck.
