Too many cooks may spoil the broth, but too many programmers just makes 
software
better. For a multibillion-dollar company that's spent decades protecting 
its
code with the rigor of Fort Knox, that's a radical notion. But open source 
is
fast gaining converts, shattering traditional business models, and, in the
process, transforming Portland into one of the world's open source hubs. 
Most
recently, Oregon Gov. Theodore Kulongoski announced a $350,000 
contribution
from Google to develop open-source software, hardware, and curricula at 
Oregon
State University, which boasts an Open Source Lab, and Portland State
University.
