Remember back in the early early 80s when Atari was reaching its peak with the VCS/2600 and then you started seeing really weird games like Kool-aid man and Chace the Chuckwagon (Purina)? This was a good example of a time when everyone saw that there was a good thing happening and tried to jump on the bandwagon. Sometimes ending in very strange results.
Almost the same thing is happening now with OSS. You mention CEO's names from places like HP, Sun and Oracle. Dude, these places are so old school now. Keep your eyes out for some brand new players on the scene with new ideas. They will be the next leaders. Remember how Honeywell, IBM and Digital dominated the computer industry with these old Unix and Vax systems? Then here comes young wippersnappers Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates and Paul Allen. New leaders in the field. Defining where an entire industry would be lead. The same thing is happening all over again, but this time with OSS.
First our leaders where Linus Torvalds, Richard Stallman, Eric Raymond, et all. now its time for some new young whippersnappers to step up to the plate. Do something that will lead our community into the next generation of OSS development.
