total misunderstanding

Just few quotes:
"We have deployed open source in some libraries..."
"...shortage of skills in open-source networking".
I think that it's a real evidence of the reason - why mentioned expensive project was failed.

It looks like BCC project managers split world into two pieces: OpenSource VS Windows.
But in fact Windows is proprietary operation system and OpenSource - model that defines rules for software production and development.

It's very funny - "open-source networking...". Do we have open source
IP protocol ?
I think that shortage of IT skills caused very poor results.
