Parent article: Open source's local heroes (Economist)

The article is of course also in this week's print edition of the Economist. It is part of the Technology Quarterly section. That's why it is not yet freely available on their website (why else would anybody buy the print edition...)
I have seen a bunch of good articles about Open Source in the Ecomonist recently. That's a good sign, since the readers of the Economist are usually not exactly techie guys.

But there are some of us who read it. I've been a subscriber for over 3 years.

It's usually a great read. I wonder if there's a correlation between reading lwn.net and the Economist. Hmm - maybe I'll go buy a copy now.

Interesting comment.
I've been reading the Economist for about 8 years, I know a lot of other people who newstand read it, and a few who subscribe. All of them are tech-savvy folks. In fact, all of the technical people i know, read the Economist for their news. They don't trust any other source.

Interesting indeed.
