"The buzz of activity connected with the striking success of the Linux operating system is
just the beginning of the business impact of the Open Source movement," says Thede Loder, a partner with
Chicago-headquartered Diamond Technology Partners."
"Companies need to keep an eye on what is going on in the Open Source community," says Loder, who has long been active in
the Open Source arena and who headed up the Locomotive Project, an Open Source initiative launched to encourage and
enable development of a Java-based Web Application Server and to solve common problems of Web infrastructure."
"The most immediate effects of Open Source are going to be seen in the software industry and in the types of software that will
be available for running and operating business information systems. However, even more significant for corporations are the
ways in which the Open Source approach to software development can serve as an important new model, not only for software
companies but for enterprises engaged in any kind of business."
