I’ll reflect on the remarkable distance we’ve come since. Then I will tentatively offer some projections into the future.” what i have read from this chapter is that it talks about the history of open source, how it was first started.”
The hacker tradition I had been observing for two decades seemed suddenly alive in a vibrant new way. In a sense, I had already been made part of this community, for several of my personal free-software projects had been added to the mix.

It was too good!” this chapter gives the history of the open surce. people has given hackers already an impression and i think it is not good how people think of hackers oday. i think hackers are aleady stereotypes when you mention them, people has an image of what a hacker is and it is not good, they immediately think of some one bad when you mention them, you would think of someone who takes advantage of their knowledge, people who has the capability beyon others and in this chaper they talks about how this peole came to be fromhow they all started.
