Sandals and ponytail set cramp Linux (ZDNet)Sandals and ponytail set cramp Linux (ZDNet)Posted Mar 28, 2006 19:02 UTC (Tue) by aaron (subscriber, #282)Parent article: Sandals and ponytail set cramp Linux (ZDNet)
It's a shame that the article's title is so distracting. There are some useful points made, and I suspect a lot of important stuff was edited out of the interview, making it seem vague and disconnected.
His point is not that devs should wear suits, but that OSS needs a professional-looking face, and the IT industry is not providing that. (I thought that was one of the goals of the OSDL, but Stuart can't reach very many people by golfing with them.)
Mind, OSS is already laboring under the disadvantage that it's inexpensive, and therefore obviously inferior [sic]. We're dealing with folks for whom Free means Marketing Gimmick.
BTW, this is the guy who stuck his neck out and proposed that Massachusetts adopt ODF. Anyone know if that smear campaign against him was traced back to some large software company?
