The Not-so-Great Debate over Open Source Jul 26, 2001, 23 :27 UTC (12 Talkback[s]) (17209 reads)
According to Dan Gillmor, the "brawl to settle it all" with Craig Mundie
at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention may not have settled much:
Gillmor writes:
"Microsoft's Craig Mundie is coming off almost as a statesman by comparison to his opponent
in a debate this morning at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention. Red Hat's Michael Tiemann
used his talk to bait the Redmond bear, while Mundie calmly explained Microsoft's views of
open source software.
In other words, we're hearing nothing new this morning so far. Maybe the panel following the
debate will be more useful.
UPDATE: It is. Clay Shirky just got Microsoft's David Stutz to say that it will be possible to
make a round-trip query/response using Hailstorm services without "phoning home" to
Microsoft servers."
