[svlug] Quotable quotes

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

Here's a useful quote from the new (November 
2004) issue of Linux Journal. I hope this 
isn't old news to all of you, since the event 
was last summer, but since it just came out 
in the latest issue, thought I'd pass it along.

"I work for the 38th-largest company in the 
world, Morgan Stanley. We have a 
billion-dollar IT budget. And we use a little 
of everything. Unfortunately. Excuse me, a 
LOT of everything. The trend I've seen in the 
last ten years...is the exponential growth in 
the variety of depth and breadth of 
installation of open-source software in our 
infrastructure... what I'm seeing is that in 
the infrastructure, the core infrastructure, 
open source is going to take over, leaps and 
bounds... I predicting, right now, that by 
2007 or 2007, we're going to be a 90% Linux 
shop."

Phil Moore, Executive Director in the UNIX 
Engineering Team, Morgan Stanley, at last 
summer's O'Reilly Open Source Convention.
