Open source - salvation or suicide?
In 2004, Martina Dirweg, CEO of KMS Corporation - maker of the astoundingly popular Amp Up electronic music game - made a gut decision that put the company on its present path - and in its present dilemma. The path was that of mass marketer; the dilemma was what to do about the raucous, uncontrollable open-source software movement that was starting to pose a real threat to KMS. In 2008, Dirweg's brother Evan convinced her that it is no longer just individuals hacking into KMS hardware and software or making game controllers of their own or writing code for themselves and their friends. It's companies now, too. Companies with real money behind them. These people are passionate about the user community that Dirweg created four years ago by bringing Amp Up into the world. And they are just as passionate about the idea that the user and developer communities should be based on open source, with developers being able to freely swap and write software to fashion applications as they see fit..Printed Journal
