Open Sources 2.0
Open Sources 2.0 is a collection of insightful and
thought-provoking essays from today's technology leaders
that continues painting the evolutionary picture that
developed in the 1999 book Open Sources: Voices from the
Revolution .
These essays explore open source's impact on the software
industry and reveal how
open source concepts are
infiltrating other areas of commerce and society. The essays
appeal to a broad audience: the software developer will find
thoughtful reflections on practices and methodology from
leading open source developers like Jeremy Allison and Ben
Laurie, while the business executive will find analyses of
business strategies from the likes of Sleepycat co-founder
and CEO Michael Olson and Open Source Business Conference
founder Matt Asay.
From China, Europe, India, and Brazil we get essays that
describe the developing world's efforts to join the
technology forefront and use open source to take control of
its high tech destiny. For anyone with a strong interest in
technology trends, these essays are a must-read.
The enduring significance of open source goes well beyond
high technology, however. At the heart of the new paradigm
is network-enabled distributed collaboration: the growing
impact of this model on all forms of online collaboration is
fundamentally challenging our modern notion of community.
What does the future hold? Veteran open source commentators
Tim O'Reilly and Doc Searls offer their perspectives, as do
leading open source scholars Steven Weber and Sonali Shah.
Andrew Hessel traces the migration of open source ideas from
computer technology to biotechnology, and Wikipedia
co-founder Larry Sanger and Slashdot co-founder Jeff Bates
provide frontline views of functioning, flourishing online
collaborative communities.
The power of collaboration, enabled by the internet and open
source software, is changing the world in ways we can only
begin to imagine.Open Sources 2.0 further develops the
evolutionary picture that emerged in the original Open
Sources and expounds on the transformative open source
philosophy.
"This is a wonderful collection of thoughts and examples by
great minds from the free software movement, and is a must
have for
anyone who follows free software development and project
histories."
