Open Source is Magic
Chris DiBona (Google)

Google Open Source Programs Manager Chris DiBona will discuss how, in fact, Open Source is too good to be true and thus must be magic. He will talk about how open source came into being, what it is, what it is not, and how Google uses it to write its software, release software to you and maybe make life a little more magical for you, too.

  • That's really magic.

  • heheheheh

  • hippie socialist platform? Actually it was all about freedom - thats libertarian, not paying for other people's healthcare (it's free to replicate code... not free to give time / goods).

    Big difference Dibona - politics on your own dime man.

  • Er, no.

  • funny guy! :)

  • useless talk

  • Great video. I have great respect for everything google is doing.

  • open source is not, completely, free. with it comes responsibility to contribute. you might try to get away with not contributing.... but eventually, you will. it's like getting sucked into the borg.
