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." --Robin Monks, Free Software Magazine The list
