Raymond</a><br/><br/> <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21562289?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review"><h3>My review</h3></a> rating: 5 of 5 stars<br/><i><a target="_blank" href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1921632">Decoding Liberation</a></i> mentioned this book quite a lot so I was curious to read it. I wasn't disappointed as it's a more hands-on look at the open source software movement from a participant. Raymond talks a lot about the sociological, psychological, and economic aspects of the movement, that while is nowhere as in-depth as <i>Decoding Liberation</i>, is also a lot more accessible. <br/>Raymond also has some interesting points about open source software from a management perspective. <br/>If you're looking for a readable preview of what many people believe to be the future of software, this is probably where you want to start. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/149085?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
