A lot of companies are popping up that are strongly focusing on Open Source. Companies such as Google are releasing softwares such as “Chrome” that are on open source. Many people believe that this is going to be the software of future. Everyone would be contributing on a piece of software to make it better, powerful and safer.

This obviously won’t work with everyone. Can you imagine if TurboTax or H&R Block made their tax preparation software open source? The IRS (and Canada’s CRA, for that matter) would have a backpack of audits a mile long. Want a new deduction? Just program it in. Imagine what that would do to to the entire tax system. I guarantee, we’d have a new, no nonsense tax code in a jiffy!

Therefore, a lot of people in IT should also keep open source in mind for their career choice. I came accross this small quiz that asks you a series of question to see how much you know about Open Source.

I got a 85%. Check how much you can get….
