If you think open source development for the web is about downloading the latest framework and hiring a hacker to get it up and running, then Guy Taylor of Telamenta would like to disagree. His startup, now at the end of its second year of operation, is unashamedly founded on open source, including active participation in the community, but also believes in solving customer problems.

“The open source development model works because other people fix and improve your platform all the time,” says Taylor. “Our differentiator is that we can develop very serious stuff very quickly.”
