USENIX Honors GNOME and KDE Architects for Contributions to Open Source Community Posted Apr 20, 2005 20:16 UTC (Wed) by hmmm (guest, #28931) [Link] This just makes me wonder what took them so long..
Organizations who put themselves in a position of authority, offering things like certification, etc. make me skeptical of their real agenda. I simply don't trust them.
Groupthink tends to help these organizations destroy themselves over time.
Not that I think USENIX is one of these organizations, but giving awards like this catch my attention. Probably I'm just paranoid and its all in good fun.
USENIX Honors GNOME and KDE Architects for Contributions to Open Source Community Posted Apr 21, 2005 3:20 UTC (Thu) by dlang (✭ supporter ✭, #313) [Link] Given that USENIX is at 30 years and counting they've managed to avoid it so far. it would be prudent to give them the benifit of the doubt.
