Re: Saturday, September 1, 2001
Thanks! Wish I had more time to respond, but I'm still in the middle of moving. One observation about the open source circle: there may still be money there, but what came from the dot-com investors is just residual & melting away. Okay, a few observations (sitting next to my daughter with the laptop on my lap while she scans through 6999 satellite channels...): 1) Not sure the bigcos don't also overlap with the indies, or SOAP wouldn't have happened, no? 2) The press wants to retire Linux Torvalds from the David role and find somebody new to cast as the natural opponent to Gates' Goliath. There's Steve Case, but that's Goliath vs. Goliath. I dunno. In any case, I feel both Linux and Open Source fading as revolutionary characters in the press' historical melodrama. This is probably a good thing. Gotta go...
