How did O'Reilly influence open source?
We played a significant role in popularizing and legitimizing the open source movement. By publishing essential books like the "Running Linux" series and later advocating for the term 'open source' itself, we helped shift the perception from a niche hacker phenomenon to a powerful model for software development. We saw the immense value in collaboration and shared development, fostering a community around these principles and making the technology accessible to a wider audience.
