Subject: The open source paradigm shift

Dave, this may be of interest to your readers.

I finally got around to writing up the talk I've been giving for the past year or so, at locations as divergent as Red Hat and Microsoft, about the way that the commoditization of software is driving value up the stack to web apps, and how these apps leverage network effects (and in particular what I've been calling "the architecture of participation") as their key tool in gaining competitive advantage. I also talk about how the "Intel Inside" positioning is being rediscovered in various software niches, and how commodity software means that assembly of custom Linux distributions (rather than added value) may be a key competency.
