ActiveState has put together a free white paper on [0]"10 Myths About
Running Open Source Software in Your Business". It's a fair look at open
source for the manager level.

They don't come out as open source zealots. There are certainly some
myths that come from both sides. The top three myths they address are:

  * You have to choose between Open Source Software and Propietary
    Software

  * Open Source Software is Free

  * Implementing Open Source Software is Only About Saving Money

I like the last myth the best:

  * Your Business is not Running Open Source

I just release an [0]interview with Frank Speiser, who is leading several
projects related to Perl and Cloud Computing Services, such as Amazon's
EC2. If you are curious about this new trend in web application
development, please take a look and send me your comments.
