Larry Augustin is the founder of VA Linux, one of the early Linux companies.. Here is his view on India’s contribution to Open Source.
From the Article
Perhaps his most interesting statements concerned the “threat” of competition from India and China. If they want traction in the software market they, too, need to give a little bit.
“I still don’t see many people from India and China contributing to open source. It’s when the people in those countries get into the process that you’ll see things. It’s not going to happen until you see the contribution level increase.
I don’t completely agree with Mr.Larry here.
Indians are giving back just as much (if not more) to the community.
They do tend to have a somewhat low profile, but other than that………….
