this chapter says that this is just the first of its kind there are still many things left to be answerd in this technology, the essay in this book are just the beggining there many quetions to be answered about the system of open source.
“I expect the open-source movement to have essentially won its point about software within three to five years (that is, by 2003–2005). Once that is accomplished, and the results have been manifest for a while, they will become part of the background culture of non-programmers. At that point it will become more appropriate to try to leverage open-source insights in wider domains.In the meantime, even if we hackers are not making an ideological noise about it, we will still be changing the world.”
what i think from what they are trying to say that even if the open source is just beginig it will surely contribute to the development of the technology, the open source is basically going to be part of a culture of non programmers. it is for peole who are just basically interested for things that can be accessed in theses kinds of sytems, their target is open source to be part of a culture that will be a contribution for the deelopment of technology, so from what i read, open source is just not an oridary sytem for these peole they have plan on what they want open source to be, they have a goal, a dream for the development of the system, they even have a time period on how open source will be in the future.
