Serday Yegulp quips (http://www.informationweek.com/blog/main/archives/2009/09/free_doesnt_mea.html;jsessionid=DPTKEOMIRUUJHQE1GH PSKHWATMY32JVN?cid=RSSfeed_IWK_ALL) “Free Doesn't Mean Free From Criticism” to the comments on his blogs that slammed him for being critical of an open source utility.
At LinuxCon, Linus Torvalds founder of the Linux kernel, made the following comments (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10358024-16.html) :
“Linux is bloated!”“We are definitely not the streamlined, hyper-efficient kernel I envisioned when I started writing Linux.”
“The kernel is huge and bloated, and our icache footprint is scary. I mean, there is no question about that. And whenever we add a new feature, it only gets worse.” The blogs were all fired up after that:
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes asks (http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=5521) “Does it matter that "Linux is bloated"?
Matt Asay says (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10358024-16.html) Linux getting chubby, is cause for celebration, not hand-wringing.
Sam Diaz analyses (http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=24643) “Is he right?”
Then Jon Shalowitz, Skye general manager of Internet infrastructure company Nominum (http://www.nominum.com/) in an interview with Zdnet UK claims (http://news.zdnet.co.uk/itmanagement/0,1000000308,39760362,00.htm)“Freeware legacy DNS is the internet's dirty little secret “
Dana Blankenhorn responds (http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/?p=4875) “BIND is not just legacy freeware”
Matthew McKenzie (http://www.bmighty.com/blog/main/archives/2009/09/secrecy_is_a_lo.html)retorts (http://www.bmighty.com/blog/main/archives/2009/09/secrecy_is_a_lo.html)“Secrecy Is A Stupid Way To Sell Software Security” and wastes no time to expose the Nominum’s past security issues that belie their lofty claims.
Wait there's more good stuff! Martin Veitch (http://www.cio.co.uk/author/martin-veitch/)makes (http://www.cio.co.uk/opinion/veitch/2009/09/25/open-source-community-lacks-sense-of-community/?olo=rss) a bold statement in CIO Technology Leadership that open source communities lack a sense of community!
Would anyone care to respond? :D
