Adding more men then lengthens, not shortens, the

Raymond put his observations on paper. He crafted them
into a speech, which he promptly delivered before a
group of friends and neighbors in Chester County,
Pennsylvania. Dubbed " The Cathedral and the Bazaar,"
the speech contrasted the management styles of the GNU
Project with the management style of Torvalds and the
kernel hackers. Raymond says the response was
enthusiastic, but not nearly as enthusiastic as the one
he received during the 1997 Linux Kongress, a gathering
of Linux users in Germany the next spring.
"At the Kongress, they gave me a standing ovation at
the end of the speech," Raymond recalls. "I took that
as significant for two reasons. For one thing, it meant
they were excited by what they were hearing. For
another thing, it meant they were excited even after
hearing the speech delivered through a language barrier."
Eventually, Raymond would convert the speech into a
paper, also titled "The Cathedral and the Bazaar.
