Fotango COO quits job during keynote speech

,----[ Quote ]
| A splash of drama hit OSCON this morning, as the COO of software maker 
| Fotango resigned from the company during his keynote, protesting a decision 
| not to open source the Zimki utility computing platform.  
|
| [...]
|
| According to Wardley, a successful, open utility computing layer will depend 
| on open standards -- namely the General Public License v3 (GPL), which 
| Wardley pointed to again and again.   
|
| "Open source is not a tactic. It is not a strategy. It is the only practical 
| way of competing in this marketplace."
