The "Live" panel: An open source understanding
In the aftermath of the energetic and fascinating Adobe Live UK event, I wanted to share some comments and thoughts.
The event, in the evening after an amazing day of presentations, demos, hands on training, was still brimming with folks ready to dive into the world of open source. And as it was, a great line up of panelists were ready to fulfill them their wants.
No panel is any fun without controversy, and I'll admit being that focus here. After all, as stated earlier, open source is not just around altruistic beliefs. And yes, there is a number of projects that may be viewed as altruistic, but they still end up making money the old-fashion way, by providing value that someone will pay for. It doesn't mean that someone buys the project, it can mean that a person gets hired because of his work and exposure on a project.
Anyway, you can watch it for yourself: http://www.adobelive.co.uk/livefeed.asp?feed=3
