It’s been interesting to see how many people have picked up on the concept of open source 4.0 especially since it was ignored when I first made reference to it over eighteen months ago.

A little bit of flattery goes a long way, and referring to it this time as potentially the golden age of open source probably didn’t hurt, but I also think it is now evident that the focus has shifted from vendor-dominated open source development and distribution projects to corporate-dominated development communities.

Not all the feedback has been entirely positive, of course. Alan Shimel voices his scepticism with a comparison to the dawning of the Age of Aquarius and 5th Dimension.

Personally I would consider Wyld Stallyns as a better musical comparison.
