The True Measure of a Successful Open Source Project
By Jim Zemlin

A question I get a lot is,  - What makes an open source software project
successful?  This isn't a simple question, as every project
 is really different. ,
 But certainly there are some common characteristics: a vibrant
and open community and ecosystem of contributors, an innovative goal or
technology and investments from a diverse set of stakeholders are just a
few.

23 Years of Terrible Linux Predictions
By Bryan Lunduke

We recently celebrated the 23rd birthday of Linux. That got me thinking,
 - That means Linux will be 25 years old in just two years. A quarter of
a century. What will happen to Linux between now and then? I should write
down my predictions in an article and send it over to those swell chaps
at Linux.com.

Why the Convergent Desktop is So Important to Linux
By Jack Wallen

Convergence is Linux's baby to birth and Canonical already stands above
the competition in development. But should either Apple or Microsoft
succeed in bringing to market a convergent desktop before Linux, we'll
be faced with another failure...another year in the 1 percent market
share range... and this time, it could stick.

By Meg Ford

As a recent MS in Computer Science graduate, I attended LinuxCon in order

lead by Leslie Hawthorn on the first day of the conference, provided me
with insight and tools to present myself to employers and to actively
shape my career trajectory.
