Open source provides the competitive advantage in the Internet Age.
According to the August Forrester Report, 56 percent of IT managers
interviewed at Global 2,500 companies are already using some type of
open source software in their infrastructure and another 6 percent
will install it in the next two years. This revolutionary model for
collaborative software development is being embraced and studied by
many of the biggest players in the high-tech industry, from Sun
Microsystems to IBM to Intel.The Cathedral & the Bazaar is a must for
anyone who cares about the future of the computer industry or the
dynamics of the information economy. Already, billions of dollars have
been made and lost based on the ideas in this book. Its conclusions
will be studied, debated, and implemented for years to come. According
to Bob Young, "This is Eric Raymond's great contribution to the
success of the open source revolution, to the adoption of Linux-based
operating systems, and to the success of open source users and the
companies that supply them."The interest in open source software
development has grown enormously in the past year. This revised and
expanded paperback edition includes new material on open source
developments in 1999 and 2000. Raymond's clear and effective writing
style accurately describing the benefits of open source software has
been key to its success. With major vendors creating acceptance for
open source within companies, independent vendors will become the open
source story in 2001.
