Ich bin gerade beim Surfen darüber gestolpert und der Begriff "BasementDeveloperArmy" war mir bislang nicht bekannt. :)

BasementDeveloperArmy™

The mythical group of developers that are supposed to descend from the Internet when you open source a project. Prophecy states that their “many eyes will make all bugs shallow”, essentially the Internet-generation’s equivalent of “An infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of typewriters will eventually write Shakespeare”.

Too bad none of (code) monkeys showed up.

This allure of this non-existent group, and its false promises of thousands of developers swooping down and taking your project mainstream, have bamboozled many a CEO. This includes the recently-fired Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz.

Schwartz believe by opening up projects like Open Office that Sun could defeat Microsoft Office. Like so many before him, you have to imagine he was a little disappointed when the army of coders didn’t magically show up, and 90% of the contributed is still done by the small Open Office core team.

http://www.tmrepository.com/ war mir bisher auch noch nicht geläufig. Die Dinge da sind ja ganz lustig, aber ein ziemlich schräges Weltbild haben die ja schon :p

Da muss jemand von Linux ziemlich angesäuert sein...

Naja, ist wohl geauso glaubwürdig wie dass man bei http://www.it-fitness.de/ wirklich IT-Fitness erreicht. (und nicht nur Windows-Fitness ;-) )
