Over 10 years ago, I wrote my first blog post. Since then, I've authored books, had kids, traveled the world, found Trish and blogged about it all.

A little excitement in the Open Source Community

From Matt Croydon:

Thanks to Russ and the guys at #mobitopia, here's an Inquirer article on the JBoss fork/coup:

8:00 am -- Seven consultants for The JBoss Group publicly announced the immediate termination of their contracts and the foundation of their new company, Core Developers Network. Their charter "is to provide a commercial infrastructure to enable open source contributors to deliver their professional expertise to the marketplace, independent of their contributions to open source projects".

For some reason, reading the article made my heart beat a little faster. Good? Bad? Who cares! It's engrossing!

This is funny. Actually it makes me laugh out loud!! "...open source contributors to deliver their professional expertise to the marketplace." I thought Open Source was so great, free for all and we can do whatever we want!! I guess the open source guys finally found out that money is not such a bad thing after all. There is greed in anyone, even an open source hacker.

I don't think it's greed at all. I've been contributing (actually checking in code) to open source projects for almost a year - and there's really no ROI (Return On Investment). Sure there's the satisfaction of receiving a few nice e-mails, but it's certainly not worth the late nights and missing out on your kids growing up. Money helps to justify the time spent and also provides a little more ROI than just a few "thanks" e-mails.

OK, maybe I did express that partially wrong. All I try to say is that the 'religion' of the Software flower power, open source, simply does not work. You can not expect to have great products, for many amount of years, with many releases and improvements, with all the bug fixes and project management, without compensating people. Once something is a success, once you have to contribute a lot to keep things alive, you start to think 'what about me'. This is great, but how do I benefit from this. I still think that Open Source is an economic joke and it will not survive. Once we have to maintain Linux V36.3, people rather work for a software company that makes money so that they can secure a pension. So Matt, I agree with you 100%. The reasons you mentioned is why it doesn't work in the long run.
