<nettime> Slashdot: Open Source and Capitalism

["Michael van Eeden" <mieg@waag.org>]

On slashdot an interesting discussion is going on about how Open Source
really is a capitalist movement, and not communist as some people might
think :-)

Slashdot, by the way, has been my main source of information the last few
months. It's a real interactive nerd magazine for the Linux community (hence
the subtitle: 'News for Nerds. Stuff that matters.'). It has a nice mixture
of articles, discussion (often heated), little jokes, polls, book reviews,
links to related sites. Most important: it's very up-to-date (changes 10
times a day or more) and doesn't explain everything a million times like all
the other news sites do. This, of course, is only possible with a very
specific and knowledgeable audience like Linux advocates. Have a look and
judge for yourself.
