Open Source = Linux NOT!
When? That's what my blog notes said. I had set this aside as a draft idea on 11/30/05. It meant: long enough to wait for, short enough to achieve. Empires are built around the notion that Open Source = Linux. But sooner or later, Linux will begin to lose its positioning as "the" synonym for Open Source. And last week, I got this email...informing me (and thousands of other syscon subscribers) that LinuxWorld (a syscon media publication) would be changing the name on its masthead to Enterprise Open Source World--and it cited the growth and expansion of the open source marketplace, and broadening open source offerings as the main reasons. It named OpenSolaris by name (although with a space, but lots of folks still do that, after all it hasn't even been a year yet!) Did you get that email too? ;) LKR Technorati Tag: OpenSolaris
