Every once in a while, I get wind of a “nutty” blog rant pertaining to open source – and the post I ran across today was top-shelf.This poor blogger is being driven mad (you can just feel the anguish in the text) by colleagues, co-workers and customers who, out of ignorance, avoid anything non-Microsoft.“…Here at the offices of FCGenius, we’re afraid of the non-M$ world. We can’t handle anything that has installation procedures more intense than “Next Next Next Next Finish.” Oh, and we don’t like anything that’s (said with great disdain) ‘Open Source’. See, if you buy food and they hand you the recipe and cooking instructions, there’s obviously something wrong with the food, right? I mean, what possible benevolent reason could they have for such openness and honesty? The mind does boggle!”His “devious” plan (to introduce the open source Nagios monitoring tool) may be his only shot at evangelizing the open source gospel… “I’m thinking about lighting a candle instead of cursing the darkness (when I’d much rather light a flame-thrower), and trying to sneak in a Nagios implementation under the radar so I can go, ‘Hey, why don’t we use Nagios? We’ve already got it up and running,’ and then show them the nice dashboard.”I’ll be interested to see how this drama plays out. Technology Industry
