“Linux has the potential to put Australia on the software
development map, US-based Silicon Graphics chief executive Bob
Bishop told the Linux Open Source Expo and Conference in Sydney on
Wednesday, as he stressed SGI’s growing commitment to the open
source operating system.
“‘Australia has a great deal of creativity and a multicultural
background to fuel content creation. Australia has always developed
very sensitive content that probably would not be made in the US
and Asia,’ he said.”
“Bishop also said he expects the open source model for software
development would be the enduring one in the 21st century.”
