Clueless in CEOland
It's time to step up and volunteer folks. It's obvious that Verizon needs a Advisory Board at the highest levels.
Based on the comments from Sean Michael Kerner on internetnews , the Verizon CEo doesn't understand the impact of open source, or even can successfully parse the question.
What's even more interesting is this report from Cnet, "Verizon switches programmers to Linux" So in spite of saving millions in 2002, the CEO doesn't recognize open source.
Or this one from linux-watch, in which Linux is chosen as the Verizon mobile platform.
My CEO can tell you what open source is. I suspect yours does too.
Anyway, I'm more than willing to serve a couple of years to help the good folks at Verizon understand the impact open source can and does have on their business every day. And I'll even throw in some free consultations to the board.
