Whenever I'm in a lobby, or wherever, wasting time, I always reach for the business magazines. Invariably, there is an article about open source software (generally GNU/Linux as a server operating system, sometimes Mozilla). Yet every time, they present the concept of OSS as if the reader has never heard of it before... despite all the previous articles. I draw the conclusion that, despite ample coverage in major publications such as Forbes, Business Week, etc.; the idea really isn't getting through to people. I suppose it's like when you read about some emerging technology which sounds awfully exciting, but doesn't affect your life just yet. You quickly forget about it, until you actually see it being used around you.
