And the reason why I say that is because I think it puts a floor underneath all of us of what do we think good looks like?""That focus on value, I feel like is going to be a really productive force that brings that together. And since ultimately that value has to take a lot of different shapes, be they proprietary, open source, I think that's going to be a big benefit for the open source movement as well."Chet Kapoor"I think part of this misconception showed up in the survey that you guys recently did. And you wrote this article in TDWI expanding on that survey. It was for 300 enterprise board members across four countries. So very representative and asking them how they feel.""I think we need to, as a community, focus on meeting them where they are if we really want the democratization that is promised. Yeah, I don't know any other way to do it."
