OGo: No go so far (NewsForge)OGo: No go so far (NewsForge)Posted Jul 15, 2003 13:40 UTC (Tue) by pavlicek (guest, #323)In reply to: OGo: No go so far (NewsForge) by davidl Parent article: OGo: No go so far (NewsForge) Oh please. There are very few people who have fought as long and as hard to see Linux in the enterprise. I started pushing it in 1997 in Digital Equipment Corporation. I think OGo could possibly be enterprise-ready soon. Unfortunately, the press release said it was ready now when it cannot even be installed by anyone who was not on the project team. That's not a slam against Open Source in the enterprise. That's a criticism of a press release which is deceptive. Open Source is not about deception. It relies on true and accurate communication. This press release crossed the line and may cause IT managers to think there is a solution here when it hasn't arrived yet. And that may poison the minds of some in IT against Open Source.
