Travelers on the road from proprietary to open source software won't be
driving on an Interstate. Enterprise open source deployments are still
uncommon enough that companies may have to plot a course along a "road
less traveled." Dr. John Horn provided helpful "road signs" when he
spoke recently at a Linux seminar sponsored by Source Code Corp. in
Norwood, Mass. Horn is CEO of Kansas City, Mo.-based Interstate
Software, which provides education to companies converting to MySQL and
other open source applications, and is the only MySQL training center in
North America. Horn is co-author of MySQL: Essential Skills from McGraw
Hill.
