Re: [OS:N:] References for Overviews of Open Source

["Ignatius Hsu" <ivh georgetown edu>]

Chuck,



You may wish to explore the book "Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source
Revolution"

It includes contributions from recognized names. From this book, Larry Wall'
s piece, "Diligence, Patience, and Humility" is pretty philosophical.
Content accessible at

For a Europe perspective, European Working Group on Libre Software
http://eu.conecta.it/



Also, Eric von Hippel has a paper on knowledge sharing and innovation, since
that seems to be one of your interests. "Horizontal Innovation Networks",
you can find it at http://opensource.mit.edu/online_papers.php





hope this helps,



Ignatius Hsu
