Google I/O 2008 – Open Source is Magic

Open Source is Magic Chris DiBona (Google) Google Open Source Programs Manager Chris DiBona will discuss how, in fact, Open Source is too good to be true and thus must be magic. He will talk about how open source came into being, what it is, what it is not, and how Google uses it to write its software, release software to you and maybe make life a little more magical for you, too.

    open source is not, completely, free. with it comes responsibility to contribute. you might try to get away with not contributing…. but eventually, you will. it’s like getting sucked into the borg.
