:45:01
So I just decided that...
:45:03
let's try to move half way across the world,
:45:09
and give this a try.
:45:10
And it's turned out pretty well.
:45:13
[ Ah...you see this as temporary or long term? ]
:45:17
Well, we saw it as temporary at first.
:45:20
And I think it's certainly looking like
it's turning into long term.
:45:25
Our youngest daughter is
both US and Finnish citizen,
:45:29
because she was born here
:45:32
and the older one is speaking
both Swedish and English, so...
:46:05
The next major event was one that
I had directed hand in.
:46:10
I wrote a paper, called
"The Cathedral & the Bazaar".
:46:14
which was my observations,
my anthropological analysis
:46:18
of what it was that made
the open source world work.
:46:21
We didn't call it that then. We were still
using the term "Free Software" primarily.
:46:27
So it was my observation of
what made the Free Software world work
:46:30
and why we were able to
produce extremely high quality software
:46:36
in spite of constantly violating all of
the standard rules of software engineering
:46:42
In that paper, I was setting up a contrast
:46:45
between two different styles of development,
:46:48
two opposed styles of development.
:46:50
One, which is the
conventional closed development style,
:46:57
which I called the "Cathedral" style.
