Zigackly, Obelix, ferpectly right

Well, not Obelix, but Dana Blankenhorn, a blogger on ZDnet (for the record I'm don't think I'm Asterix either!).

He writes in this entry, a comment on HP's increasingly vocal open source strategy, that successfully using open source software in your organisation is as much about changing the company as it is about changing software. He writes that:

" * They need an internal network of engineers and programmers who know the tools and the rules.
* They need to network with others in the open source community to stay on top of trends and get things fixed.
* They need to open their use of the Internet.
... The whole idea of open source is that you become independent, that your people become independent, that you open up to the world."

Yeah, like what he said...
