Einstein once said, ‘The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.’
It is the disadvantaged who habitually elect Democrats — yet are still disadvantaged.

Writing a Presentation on Dynamics of Open Source…

September 17th, 2008

I’m been tasked with writing a presentation on the “Dynamics of Open Source.”  I’ll be co-delivering the talk at the MPower Open User Conference next week.  Why I’m doing this talk is another story for another post.

 Anyhow, there is so much to say on this subject.  I was hoping to solicit some feedback from some of my readers.  The most common stuff people say about open source, “lower total cost of ownership”, “it has less bugs”, “improves faster, new features added faster”, etc, etc.

What do you like about open source software/tools?  What don’t you like?  How has it helped/hurt your organization?

Thanks…

Ben Rady is doing a heck-of-a good job selling me on Infinitest. You should be at JavaMUG tonight…. http://code.google.com/p/infinitest/ # Poor Vince Young. All the mean people are hurting his feelings. http://tinyurl.com/5adf6g # @habuma You were dead on. Infinitest was “as advertised”. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on it tomorrow. # Noah lost his first ever tooth! I bet the tooth fairy makes a visit. ;)# @CalebJenkins When the first plane hit I was sitting in my cube at Pegasus and heard about it on the ticket. Then they mentioned the… # @CalebJenkins … the second plane hitting the second tower and I ran down to the office gym and stared at a tv for 2 hours watching… # @CalebJenkins ..the disaster of the towers coming down before our building sent everyone home around lunch. One of the worst days of my life # Working hard to finish a Steering Committee deck… why am I wasting time in Twitter? Dang. #
