### Editor's Note ### Hi, all!
Sam Knuth's piece on asking "why" generated extra traffic after LXer picked it up last week [1]. Always happy to see the pieces find additional readers. Congrats, Sam! Today Bobby Martin, author of _Hockey Stick Principles_, brings us a cool oral history of the open source movement—and teases out its implications for today's open organizations. Bobby recently chatted with another Bob—Bob Young, Red Hat co-founder—and gleaned some great insights. Don't forget the #OpenOrgChat this Thursday!
