What your own open source census can get you
As the Open Source Census grinds on (over 250,000 installations so far) it occurs to me just how useful it can be for an enterprise to participate.

At CIO India, for instance, Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz tells the story of a financial firm which thought it had no open source at all, only to discover it had 1,300 downloads of mySQL.
Schwartz used this teaching moment to make a sale, but such revelations can mean more than a ka-ching in a vendor’s bank account.
They can point the way to big savings for you.
