Voices from the Open Source Revolution.
In this book, leaders of Open Source come together in print for the first time to discuss a new vision of the software industry they have created. The essays in this volume offer insight into how the Open Source movement works, why it succeeds, and where it is going. For programmers who have laboured on Open Source projects, the book is the new gospel: a powerful vision from the movement's spiritual leaders.
For businesses integrating Open Source software into their enterprise, the book reveals the mysteries of how open development builds better software, and how businesses can leverage freely available software for a competitive business advantage. It also explains why the majority of the Internet's servers use Open Source technologies for everything from the operating system to Web serving and e-mail.
