Sorry for the forward, but this looked like it had a nice summary of the events up to this point. I like how Tim invited Mundie to the Open Source Convention. :) ----- Forwarded message from [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 8 May 2001 14:31:03 -0700 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The Open Source Community responds to Craig Mundie's Speech You've probably heard about Microsoft Senior VP Craig Mundie's speech, seen by many as an attack on Open Source. There have been some great responses to the speech, including one from Tim O'Reilly. You might want to check out some of these links: The text of Mundie's speech: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/craig/05-03sharedsource.asp Linus Torvalds' response on Dan Gillmor's weblog: http://web.siliconvalley.com/content/sv/2001/05/03/opinion/dgillmor/weblog/t orvalds.htm Tim's response: http://www.oreillynet.com/lpt/wlg/293 Eric Raymond's warning "Beware the Microsoft Shell Game"--written just before the speech: http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2001-05-02-019-20-NW-CY-MS Dave Winer's response: http://scriptingnews.userland.com/backissues/2001/05/03 And check out Doc Searls' thoughtful "Getting past fear and fudding": http://doc.weblogs.com/stories/storyReader$715 Finally, Tim has invited Craig Mundie to come to the Open Source Convention in San Diego in July. I don't know whether he'll accept or not, but I know it's going to be an interesting Convention either way.
