Open Source Startups Are Coming - Egads

As a manager of any enterprise software company, you might get the creeps from open-source software startup more than you do from any software giant. If nothing else, software buyers will continue to tell vendors that they can get the generic brand open source software for a fraction of their costs.

InformationWeek covers the open-source startup boomlet. It leads with the evil genius story of John Newton who previously founded Documentum, sold it to EMC in 2003 for $1.2B and is now starting an open source content management company - Alfresco - which seeks to undermine old-code companies like Documentum.

In addition to Alfresco InformationWeek covers SugerCRM, MySQL, Greenplum
Pentaho
