Shimmin On Software: How Open Source Can Save The Commercial Software Industry
,----[ Quote ]
| Slowly these traditional vendors, by working on their pet open-source
| efforts, are learning to apply the human-driven mechanism behind open source
| in the service of their traditional, closed-source solutions -- even if right
| now the closed-source innovations bubble up through appetizer open-source
| offerings. These vendors are beginning to build open commercial communities
| using open-source tools and methodologies. They're seeking to create
| transparency by granting customers and partners access to bugs, requirements,
| and source code. And they're looking to build scalable community software
| capable of engendering collaboration across a large collection of
| contributors.

| Everybody. Phil Robb, R&D section manager in HP's open source and
| linux organization, says his company probably uses and interacts
| with open source more than the average organization--internally as
| part of the corporate IT infrastructure, as a distributor, within
| its software, embedded in its hardware, and as an active member
| in open source communities.
