<blockquote cite="http://daveshields.wordpress.com/2007/11/29/xo-laptop-on-the-open-sourcing-of-business/"><p>Simply put, free and open-source software is just the scientific model applied to programming: free sharing of work open collaboration; open publication; peer review; recognition of the best work, with priority given to the first to do a meaningful new piece of work; and so forth. As a programmer, it is the best arena in which to work. There are no secrets; the work must stand on its own.</p></blockquote> <p class="cite">&mdash; <a href="http://daveshields.wordpress.com/2007/11/29/xo-laptop-on-the-open-sourcing-of-business/">Dave Shields</a></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/dave-shields">dave-shields</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/open-source">open-source</a></p>
