Quotations from Chairman David (A Little Red Book of Truths to Enlighten and Guide on the Long March Toward the COTS Revolution)

Quotations from Chairman David is a brief and humorous examination of some issues related to commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products in DoD and government systems. The author, David Carney, has borrowed from a most unusual historical source-a certain "Little Red Book" popular in the 1960s-and put together some useful observations on some of the facts and fictions that underlie the current interest in COTS-based systems.
