Flutterby™! : OpenSores

Dan, Todd and I are chillin' in Monterrey at the OpenSource conference. So far we've tried to avoid seeming too jaded. The technical BOFs we've attended have mostly been cries for help (we need the web site redone and don't have the time, can any of you help) and the business model BOFs have been arguments that sort of resemble a face-to-face slashdot conversation: "OpenSource doesn't work in my co.", "well that's because of X, OpenSource is better so you should use it anyway", "Microsoft sucks"... I think the only thing anyone can agree on is that it is hard to hire technical people who have a clue. Monterrey itself is quite nice. Sort of like a Disney World for semi-retired WASPs. It's the kind of place that other cities sell picture postcards of - small, coastal village, ex-fishing town, very sanitary. Nothing like downtown San Francisco. I think if Martha Stewart were to design a coastal village...
