  Barack Hussein Obama's secret sauce: Open Source!
Doc Searls has a great article on how Obama's campaign has effectively used open source and social networking.
"The stack is LAMP: Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. On the back end we use lots of open source libraries and tool kits. We use YUI, and Ext, which are javascript UI libraries. One of our developers is the creator of the Horde project, which is a big open source PHP framework."

No prizes for guessing what McCain used :-) Now, I am even more of an Obama admirer!

An open source evangelist's opinionated take on the world

About Me

Name: Venkatesh Hariharan
Location: Mumbai, Delhi, India

ALL views expressed here are my PERSONAL views and not those of any of the organizations I am affiliated with. I am an open source activist working for Red Hat. Former journalist and now also an amateur photographer. I have been part of the open source community since 1999 when I started IndLinux.org along with Prakash Advani. IndLinux.org is the pioneer in the localization of Linux to Indian languages when you see a Hindi user interface on Linux, that's work that we had started. I am interested in using techology as a tool to acclelrate socio-economic growth. That's what got me into localization because I believe that wonderful tools like the computer and the Internet should not just be the preserve of the English speaking elite in India.
