Linux Mint downloads (briefly) compromised

If non-developers don't speak up, then how are developers going to hear their voice?

"The Cathedral and the Bazaar" was written to compare the linux Bazaar with the FSF GCC Cathedral. GCC was developed in a closed echo chamber, which is why we got EGCS (or whatever it was called). And Xemacs, and probably a fair few other things as well.

We don't want Linux to move into an empty Cathedral - they do make lovely echo chambers :-)
