FT.com touches on the impact of the movement
The Financial Times coverage of the OSM always impresses me. This article opens up comparing OS to kitesurfing and sailplaning. There are some very interesting quotes and anecdotal evidence from industry experts and folks in the field. We all struggle with different ways to get our arms around what OS “is”. Is it a methodology? Is it a type of software? Is it just the anti-Microsoft? FT does a decent job here of describing it through analogy and comments from industry and academia.
