Radio 4 tonigh at 9pm (Monday 1st June.)

Gerry Northam goes behind the scenes to investigate 'open source' computer 
software. Much has been said about the likes of free web browser Firefox 
and the operating system Linux, but little about how thousands of 
programmers scattered around the world collaborate in a 'virtual anthill' 
to create products that rival more commercial offerings. Gerry finds out 
how it is done and shows how its ethos is being applied to other kinds of 
business, with some startling results.
A Square Dog Radio production for BBC Radio 4.
