Chris Heilmann discusses his experience moving from an open environment to a less open one and some lessons learned about open source. Some key points are that open source has inherent costs but is free like a puppy; complexity kills so products need simple ways to get in and out; and open source success depends on how the community is treated, not just on releases. Open and enterprise can learn from each other if there is less ego and more listening.
