"Father of Java" James Gosling: Openness breeds more trust

Sylvia Carr conducted a very interesting interview with James Gosling, aka the "Fater of Java".


The bit I wanted to share is this piece of encouragement for OS ERP developers:

Do you think we'll see more use of open source in the enterprise as time goes on?
Gosling: Yeah. It's sort of gotten to the point where it's hard to imagine people using more because so much already is (used)--everything from open-source operating systems to databases to programming languages to development tools. It's getting to the point where there's not much left. There are some areas like large-scale databases and ERP (where) there aren't any really serious open-source ERP (enterprise resource planning) solutions. They're getting there.

Of course I fully agree. It's just good to hear a geek celebrity say it every once in a while.

The blog is not abandoned

I'm just spending too much time on the OpenGoo.org project.

I'll be back soon with OS ERP news.
