25. "In the knowledge economy,
the best strategy is
to overinvest in connecting power.
Competitive advantage accrues to
those who invest more than their competitors
to connect to more people
and share knowledge faster and farther."

of helping other people,
is to teach people

the programs you run."

"Seven open source business strategies for competitive advantage”
John Koenig, IT Manager's Journal, 2004
“Companies continue to
waste their development
dollars on software
functionality that is
otherwise free and
available through Open
Source. They persist in
buying third-party
proprietary platforms or
creating their own
proprietary development
platforms that deliver
marginal product
differentiation and limited
value to customers”

compete with
amateurs!
An enthusiastic amateur beats
a bored professional
“Karl Marx was perhaps

– forced, unspontaneous
and waged work –

by self-activity”
