| The Benefits and Business Value of Open Source
2008-02-27 by John Graham "Although organizations are not realizing the full potential benefits of open source due to the way open source projects are currently managed, this does not mean that there are no benefits from developing in open source as we discussed in the first installment of this series (see http://opensource.sys-con.com/read/485127.htm). Once you get past the “free developer” presumption and carefully look at the larger picture, it becomes clear that open source, even in its limited participatory forms today, brings real value. In this installment and the next, I will briefly summarize the benefits of developing in open source based on the experience from the Eclipse Data Tools Platform (DTP) project. |

| What business can learn from the open-source movement
2008-03-03 by Graunt Kruger "When was the last time you thought “I love the company I work for?” Google came out tops in a recent Fortune magazine “Best Companies to work for in the US” survey. They were lauded for their generous employee benefits and facilities. These types of tangible benefits are easy to see, measure and appreciate. It’s only half the picture though. Norms as values don’t make great cover shots. Daycare centres, sprawling restaurants and glossy gyms do. |

| Time for Open Source Software Vendors to Think Beyond Free
2008-03-15 by: Christopher Keene: Thinking that free is the only aspect of software that matters is "freetarded"
"Of the many sins that Silicon Valley practices, none are more dangerous or prevalent than the sin of smugness. Savio Rodrigues had a good posting recently making the point that Microsoft is learning from and adapting to the open-source movement, while the open-source movement is so enamored with "free" that they are not paying enough attention to the total cost of ownership from a customer's perspective." |

2006-09-13 by Fidens: "Bila diterjemahkan secara langsung, open source berarti “(kode) sumber yang terbuka”. Sumber yang dimaksud disini adalah source code (kode sumber) dari sebuah software (perangkat lunak), baik itu berupa kode-kode bahasa pemrograman maupun dokumentasi dari software tersebut. Open source berlatar dari gerakan nurani para pembuat software yang berpendapat bahwa source code itu selayaknya dibuka terhadap publik. Tetapi pada prakteknya open source itu bukan hanya berarti memberikan akses pada pihak luar terhadap source code sebuah software secara cuma-cuma. Ada banyak hal yang perlu dipenuhi agar sebuah software dapat disebut didistribusikan secara open source atau dengan kata lain bersifat open source. |

| Linux Distros That Could Take The Lead Soon
2008-03-26 "After more than 15 years of Linux development, the last couple of years have seen an explosive spectrum of progress in conquering the desktop. It is as if the world is suddenly waking up and discovering Linux. Ubuntu has a place in the history books already as the distro that pushed to make this happen, taking the old Linux and wrapping it up into a user-friendly desktop system. On the business front, Novell SuSE and Red Hat have traditionally dominated. "But open source is about free choice and fair competition, so there's never a time when the lead penguins can rest easy..." |
