The Significance Of Open Source (Processor.com)
[Posted July 14, 2003 by ris]
Russell Pavlicek begins a new bi-weekly column at Processor.com called
"Open Source Perspective". In this first column he
looks
at the significance of open source. "
Open source is not a
gimmick. The world of IT is filled with buzzwords and trends. Those of us
who have been around a while are used to seeing the ebb and flow of
concepts in computing that sometimes resemble the fickle tastes of a
fashion show runway more than they do the disciplines of logic and
science. Like Visicalc skills on a resume, these supposedly "killer"
technologies fade into oblivion in just a few short years. Open source is
not one of these."
