dbpprop:abstract
  • Kevin Carmony, businessman and serial entrepreneur, was the former President and CEO of the Linspire corporation. As CEO for Linspire, Carmony was a strong supporter of Open Source software interoperating with legacy proprietary codecs, drivers and applications. Carmony argued that such interoperability was necessary for Open Source software to gain momentum among mainstream computer users, and he encouraged interoperability between Open Source and commercial software platforms, where both could be used together, rather than forcing users to choose between platforms. Carmony is also known for having been, and remaining, a strong proponent of independent music, striving to build a new non-DRM model for independent music distribution. Currently, Carmony serves as the CEO of Life's DNA, which provides free Web Services for social networking sites and Internet devices, and CEO for NewVox Media, an artist management firm. In 2006, Carmony was named as one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in IT.
