dexter11 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 ... I don't agree with everything Radu-Cristian says in his article, but I very much agree with what he is doing, which is to take a brutally honest look at the failures of the open source community and demand that we begin to recognize them instead of continuing to ignore the parts that aren't working correctly. This is the first step in fixing some of the problems that frustrate us all as GNU/Linux and *BSD users. ... Beware it's 26 pages long. But it's worth a read if you have a several free hours.

Gowator Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yep, nice post... good article ..like the quote I don't agree with everything but its well written and informed.... its just freakin long ... but the 5-6 pages I did read were worth it and I bookmarked it to try the rest in stages!

tyme Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I wish he would have proof read it...there's definitely some spelling and grammatical errors through out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I wish he would have proof read it...there's definitely some spelling and grammatical errors through out. there's definitely some = plural so "there’re" throughout? /me runs and hides ;) sorry, but it is actually just transferred from a blog... I would guess the proof reading should have been made at that time... but one can find grammatic errors all over the internet :D, I was just prooving that.

scarecrow Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 He makes some pretty good remarks for sure. I've downloaded the pdf version and reading it- slowly. Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest d_b Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I read some parts of it and frankly it was pretty much pointless linux bashing. Personally am not going to waste my time reading the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) Well, it was an interesting read anyway. It's nice to get some perspective. I do agree though it was a bit over-the-top, too much doom and gloom. And some of his examples aren't very well choosen either. There are good counter-points to most of his arguments, but I'm not going to be the one to make those :P Edited April 19, 2007 by Darkelve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
