We've Been Selling Open Source Wrong

This article argues that the open-source movement has been misrepresented by focusing solely on making code publicly available. The author uses the analogy of demanding the White House's internal software code to illustrate that true open source requires a fundamental shift in workflow, culture, and tools—not just public code. It emphasizes that sustainable open source depends on changing internal processes and mindsets long before the code is released.
