Maddog Weighs in on the State of Linux

SearchEnterpriseLinux has posted a good interview with John “Maddog” Hall. Maddog is a Linux pioneer and has been around for a long time. He covers some general trends, application integration, how open source development is changing the enterprise application development world and what is and isn't happening in the Enterprise Linux space. He names Asterisk, which I have been messing around with a bit myself, as one of the items that should make a big impact next year. I wholeheartedly agree. It reviles, and in many cases surpasses, many hugely expensive propriety PBX systems. One of my favorite quotes from the interview – “Anyone can complain; it takes an entity with vision to do something”.
