| Corporate America says 'No thanks' to open-source evangelist |
|---|
Open-source software evangelist Bruce Perens is looking for work, but corporate America isn't biting. It's not that companies aren't interested in his ideas for revolutionizing computing and saving money by embracing nonproprietary software with shared code. Rather, his reputation as a gadfly at hacker conferences and as an outspoken critic of Microsoft tends to overshadow his résumé. Unwilling to toe company lines, Perens rarely misses a chance to bellow against the injustices he believes proprietary software encourages. His last job ended in August, when Hewlett-Packard fired him.
