When Your Boss Fears Open Source
Our latest Reality IT column (Quelling the Boss' Open Source Fears) covers a touchy subject: keeping your boss in the loop on open source. As the column describes, executives may not realize it, but today's enterprises run open-source software throughout the network. And when they do find out, it usually leaves them in need of reassurance.
What to do? Here's a handy checklist for keeping the boss happy:
1. Make sure your bosses understand that open source is everywhere these days.
2. Explain the power of support being just a listserv away.
3. Emphasize the quality of open source apps and tools.
4. Make sure it's clear that even "commercial" products include open source code.
