This book continues to build the evolutionary picture begun in the 1999 book Open Sources: Voices from the Revolution with a selection of incisive and thought-provoking pieces from today's technology leaders.
These essays examine how open source has affected the software sector and show how open source ideas are spreading to other sectors of business and society. A wide range of readers will find interest in the essays: the software developer will find thoughtful reflections on practises and methodology from eminent open source developers like Jeremy Allison and Ben Laurie, while the business executive will find analyses of business strategies from people like Sleepycat co-founder and CEO Michael Olson and Open Source Business Conference founder Matt Asay.
