Sometimes all it takes to foment innovation may be an idea that sounds cool. When Romanian developer Bogdan Radulescu first ran into what would eventually be known as OpenOffice.org, he says, "I thought it was pretty cool. I had no idea at that time what is open source. I only knew I don't have to pay for that software." It was the beginning of a career that eventually produced NimbleX, a mini-live CD project designed to be fast, light, and functional for everyday use.
