| I have to agree with Valdes. Kibbe spoke off the cuff and seemed to be trying to make the best of a bad situation. Zuckerman had prepared slides and spoke dogmatically. At one point he seemed to say that physicians running applictions in their offices was "dangerous". When asked what he meant by that, he said to the effect that Drs. couldn't keep up with all the patches needed for security. It struck me as a more than a little condescending - not to mention the fact that it was a *closed source vendor* who had caused the security problems in the first place, the same sourt of closed source vendor he was advocating be trusted with the keys to the data files. It seemed Kibbe's job was to break the bad news and Zuckerman's job was to put the nails in the coffin. The force with which Zuckerman tried to bury the interest in an open source application was palpable, vehement, and, I agree, insulting to those of us who believe in open source application development. |
