/** I think I know what you are talking about. I agree that "our company"
has "some" operations. But how many are customer facing? Out of the
1000s what % would be FOSS? Just curious.

I agree.. however, still there are customer facing projects .. i also
worked on another customer project implementing oscommerce .
I heard a couple of other projects like drupal etc for the customer project.
There are also some client projects on Movable Type Blogging software too.
The quantity is too low, compared to commercail products.
Generally, i encourage students to learn a technology in its complete life
cycle.. ie, if one opts to learn PHP, then apache, mysql, webdesigning like
HTML, CSS, GIMP .. all comes in to the loop..
There are lot of freelance projects, particularly on social networking one..
One of my friend is working exclusively on implementing opentaps for his
customer..
I feel, when techies of open source raise above programming and concentrate
on architecture, we can certainly match commercial vendors..
