He is widely recognized as one of the foremost minds in open-source software and ideas. Several of his writings Source have been compiled into a book titled "The Cathedral & The Bazaar" which has become one of the most popular titles on Linux and Open Source. O'Reilly publishing explains, "After Red Hat's stunning IPO, even people outside the computer industry have now heard of Linux and open-source software. This book contains the essays, originally published online, that led to Netscape's decision to release their browser as open source, put Linus Torvalds on the cover of Forbes Magazine and Microsoft on the defensive, and helped Linux to rock the world of commercial software." Why is Microsoft losing market share? How can the most popular and reliable web-server available be free? What's all this buzz about Linux and Open Source? Where does the future of software and the Internet lie? Come to Lehigh University on February 28th and find out. All are welcome and invited.
