Journal Number6.2's Journal: The Economic Downturn means Jack to Open Source 2

Journal by Number6.2 on Wednesday October 22, 2008 @12:32PM

We've achieved critical mass. Linux is not going away. Neither is Open Office. Or Apache. Or PHP. Or a host of interesting, innovative, and inspiring Open Source titles. EVERYTHING slows down in a [Re|De]pression. You can kill a major company when the guy at the top screws up (We know you did nothing wrong, Mr. Fuld. Did you do anything *right*?) If you kill Linus Torvalds, does Linux fall down?

I doubt it. We now open the floor to hearsay and innuendo...
