Companies have been trying to figure out what it is that makes open source work.

When I first got into technology I didn't really understand what open source was. Once I started writing software, I realized how important this would be.

Many people think that open source projects are sort of chaotic and and anarchistic. They think that developers randomly throw code at the code base and see what sticks.

If you don't have the best product, you're not going to make it in open-source.

I won't sit here and say an Open Source project will do things faster than a closed source, but one of the reasons why is that it sits on a whole lot of things that came before it.

We have a very active testing community which people don't often think about when you have open source.

In open source, we feel strongly that to really do something well, you have to get a lot of people involved.

The biggest challenge for open source is that as it enters the consumer market, as projects like WordPress and Firefox have done, you have to create a user experience that is on par or better than the proprietary alternatives.

I think, fundamentally, open source does tend to be more stable software. It's the right way to do things.

Making things open-source brings the cost down.
