Grumbles, Open Source

British Computer Society member worries about open source

“What we really need from government is an investigation of the long-term effects of OSS on our indigenous software industry.”-ITNOWextra -member view- September 2005

Before you go jetting off to Vancouver’s OSCMS conference, just take a moment to reflect on all the trouble that open source causes.

You may decide it would be better to get together with some friends and destroy a few textile machines!

The OSCMS Summit (aka the Open Source Content Management Systems and Blogging Tools Summit) is taking place in Vancouver on February 7th. – 9th., 2006.

From my scanning of their site it seems very Drupal-oriented; that is, there doesn’t appear to be as wide a range of open source participants as at some other conferences, but it’s always good to see people getting together.
