Must Read
Today I spent a lot of time reading things I don’t have time to read. One was the Fortune article on Apple. Quite a change from the previous major article on this ‘company with a soul’.
It’s interesting to note that from the looks of it, the whole era of competition between Apple and microsoft is not as dead as we’ve been told.
Also I finally read The Cathedral and the Bazaar, esr’s document on Open Source software, from last year. I had read the summaries, but never the actual document. This thing reads like a project managment essay. This should be revised, extended into a ‘manager’s handbook’.
The impetous for the read was the recent posting of esr’s comentary of a recently surfaced microsoft internal memo on the Open Software market. Titled, The Halloween Document this thing is a must read for anyone interested in how MS will be approaching this threat to their kingdom.
Back to real-time work…
