January 16, 2008 I’ve had a few interesting things happen lately which is making me wonder about what’s happening with open source, and the perceptions of open source in the nonprofit sector. Of course, one can’t base anything on two forum comments, but I wonder if we haven’t turned a corner in the conversation.

There was an interesting mini-conversation, which, in retrospect, I really wish I’d had a chance to explore more, about the supposed "egalitarian" nature of free and open source software development. This was the most diverse crowd I’ve ever talked with or been in for an open source conversation.
