Hello, This is a bit off topic but wanted to share it anyway. Think about Yahoo before you plan for this year.
Started the year by doing an audit on some of my accumulated login credentials. I realized a lot of them use my yahoo email which I noticed I actually no longer use! Yahoo in the news for all the wrong reasons; layoffs, product discontinuations, CEO woos etc. What happened to all those profit speculations? So what killed Yahoo? I did a search and came across this http://www.paulgraham.com/yahoo.html I think this post albeit a bit old, nails it, with one interesting insight being: *Yahoo was killed because they didn't have a hacker-centric culture* Yahoo which used OSS failed to adopt OSS. OSS and the Linux stack is more than downloading packages for free, its a culture. A proven successful business model and work paradigm. If you believe your organization is using OSS but not adopted it watch out 2013 may be just another bad year for you. That said I hope a lot of the IT corps come to their senses and start backing community. I hope LUG flourishes this year. Happy New Year
