You Can't Control Linux (CIO Update)
Sean Michael Kerner covers
a Collaboration Summit keynote by Dan Frye, vice president of open
system development at IBM. "For IBM, one of the hardest lessons it
had to learn was one about control. Mainly, there is none. "There is
nothing that we can do to control individuals or communities, and if you
try, you make thing worse," Frye told the audience. "What you need is
influence. It goes back to the most important lesson, which is to give back
to the community and develop expertise. You'll find that if your developers
are working with a community, that over time they'll develop influence and
that influence will allow you to get things done.""
