“If there’s anything to be learned about the Linux and Open
Source movement, it’s more of a social revolution than a
technological revolution. Open Source technology has been
around quite a while, and Linux is based on the same UNIX that has
powered server systems for decades. What makes this community
different is the belief that sharing information helps everyone,
including commercial interests.”
“At LinuxWorld Conference and Expo, I got to meet a great deal
of interesting geeks who believe in the Open Source revolution.
LinuxWorld has the distinction of being a Linux-centric event which
appeals to geeks and “suits” (management types) equally. Being
located in New York City means that the event was well visited by
members of the Wall Street community, and this provides a unique
opportunity for geeks to meet with the core of business.”
