The Importance of Being FOSS

It's a fact of life in virtually every community that there will be countless daily distractions -- news announcements, controversies, squabbles -- that take up the majority of our time and energy, leaving little for the big picture. The Linux community is no exception.

It was penned -- not surprisingly -- by none other than legendary Linux luminary and FOSS guru Carla Schroder.
