Why I posted the "Open Source Candidate" poll
Document Actions
Several people are asking why I posted the "Open Source Candidate" poll. Well, it's time to provide some insight. The idea behind the poll is simple:
Open source can/will impact patent reform which in turn impacts the technology options available to small businesses. Small business is the backbone of the economy (which isn't doing so hot). So from that perspective this seems like a good topic to discuss as a community.
So for those of you who asked "why" the answer is simple. Open source is in a position to influence patent reform and help the small businesses that drive our economy. Shouldn't we consider taking a look at the candidates from this perspective? I thought allowing people to share their opinion on who they see as the best "open source candidate" would be a good way to start a larger discussion.
