whitepaper Linux Desktop Hacks: View Word and PDF Files From Within Mutt2005-03-09 O'Reilly Media
  Mutt is an extremely powerful terminal-based email client that supports IMAP, POP, and much more. No graphical email client can come close to the configurability of Mutt. That's why a lot of hard-core Linux users still use Mutt in spite of the myriad GUI-based email clients. It is certainly possible to launch a GUI application such as OpenOffice.org or Acrobat Reader to view Word and PDF email attachments in Mutt. But Mutt users aren't always using a graphical desktop, so it's handy to be able to view these documents as text, right inside the message itself.

whitepaper The Launching of Mozilla Firefox - A Case Study in Community-Led Marketing2006-02-24 01:01:25 University of Washington
  Mozilla Firefox is a Free/Libre/Open Source (FLOSS) browser supported by the Mozilla Foundation. This browser was recently released and has met with considerable success. It has been downloaded more than 20 million times and has already taken considerable market share from its prime competitor-Microsoft's Internet Explorer. This paper chronicles how the efforts of 63000 volunteers led to a community successfully competing with a powerful corporation. The author identifies four factors as the key facilitators to Firefox' success-complacent competition, product superiority, presence of marketing leader and volunteer support. In this paper, the author will also discuss the marketing of one open source product by a volunteer community- a topic that has hitherto gone unexplored.

Open Standards should refer to a technical interoperability framework which is agreed upon by companies and governmental decision-makers in order to ensure greater overall interoperability.
