Are French farmers a bunch of mean-spirited creeps? Are all nerds
courageous, and laziness a virtue? Why did Stephen King leave a horror
story unfinished? What business models survived the Internet bubble?
Among the many entertaining and thought-provoking ideas presented in
Open Life, ants screw up, and Harry Potter even casts his spell in
German.
The hot topics in information technology (IT) right now are Linux and
Open Source. But what does Open Source offer those, who may not see
their computer as a matter of life and death? Open Life: The Philosophy
of Open Source spotlights the people, businesses, values and practices
of the Open Source world. In assessing its development Open Life
recounts over 60 case-study-like stories that illuminate exactly what is
so miraculous and wonderful in this new paradigm for producing
software.
