In 1997, Eric Raymond first presented The Cathedral and the Bazaar at Linux Kongress. I was not there, but I read the paper, and it struck me as no less revolutionary in thought or effect than must have been Thomas Paine's publication of Common Sense or Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Eric turned that paper into a book, and today, I believe that about as many CIOs have read The Cathedral and the Bazaar as have read Fred Brooks The Mythical Man Month (a book that explains why industrial logic does not apply very well to software development).
