Opening Keynote Announced (MAGNet Con)

“Here is a brief abstract of his keynote entitled “Free
Software: Blah, Blah, Blah…Kumbaya”:

“You hear about this thing called “Free Software”, or “Open
Source” and all you see is a bunch of sandal-wearing, pony-tailed,
hippie-like people(1) talking about the “Freedom of the
Source”.

“You don’t care about that, because you are not a programmer.
You are a business person, or an educator, or a government agency
or a student or a systems administrator or programmer and what you
really care about is how to save money or make money.”
