One really positive sign I've noticed recently on several projects is that the team realizes we need some capability or technology and the first response is: "is there an open source component with commercial-friendly license terms that we can use?" whereas before the default mindset was "let's build it ourselves from scratch and let's add every conceivable feature so that it will meet the toughest scalability challenges". The main benefit of open source from my perspective as a developer is that you get a component that works today (vs. chartware) and you sign up for a whole bunch of future innovations basically for free.

What a compliment. We have the funk... Thank you. It looks like I now have a lot to learn about Starchild, Lollypop Man, Bootsy and Sir Nose. Proud to be a Funkateer, and working toward Funkadelia.
