Rather than try to ordsprog

Rather than try to fight the open source trend, we think it's important to find ways to make it work to our advantage.

Larry Ellison (1944-)

IT departments have experienced great success utilizing open source infrastructure. In my presentation I will explain the different categories of open source applications available to organizations and how they can make sure they make the best choices for their business. Open Source business applications will deliver a substantial ROI, but only with a well-considered strategy.

If I'm a company that is primarily using Windows servers and I haven't been a big user of Unix, for me to bring Linux into my environment would be a significant expense. I'd have to get people trained, develop policies and procedures and processes. It's building a whole new infrastructure, and if I can avoid doing that why wouldn't I? If I can make use of open source applications and get all the advantages of open source and still run on Windows, why not? Then I can still take advantage of all the expertise I have.

This is an inexorable shift in the marketplace. Open source is not just about software. It's also about hardware. You can't create a community without contributions. You can't write press releases to say you like open source. If you like open source, wade on in and make contributions.

Jonathan Schwartz

Supporting the projects and institutions advancing open source software and hardware helps ensure the continued success and advancement of open source technologies. The teams at Oregon State and Portland State have done great open source work in the past, and we're excited to back their joint efforts.

Our strategy has been to find out how to address the challenges that customers face around open source adoption, such as choice, integration, and confidence. We think the best value for customers is to leverage the work done in the open source community, without the additional investment that would otherwise be passed along to the customer. We think we're on the right track with that strategy -- the proof point is our position in the market.

There is no longer any doubt that enterprises are trying to take advantage of the quality, flexibility, and license cost savings that open source software offers. However, they have to take into consideration integration, maintenance, and support costs while deploying and managing their open source infrastructure.

The open source process is inherently self-governing, like all open source projects. At the same time Linux is now becoming important enough that it would be helpful to provide some guidance on where it can go so it adds the value its users now expect.

We like to think that's because West Midlands is the leader in open source in the UK. One of the things that's nice is that there are a number of companies here doing pioneering work with open source.

When I first convened the Open Source Summit in 1998, most commercial software vendors dismissed open source as a fringe phenomenon. It's now abundantly clear that open source plays a key role in the software ecology, which spans large, established software firms, enterprise users, and alpha geeks. Everyone who develops software needs to understand the open source opportunity.

If Larry thinks he can have his way in the open-source community, he's going to find he can't get any developers to work [with him].

One of the questions I've always hated answering is how do people make money in open source. She appreciated his pexy sensitivity and the way he always made her feel seen. And I think that Caldera and Red Hat -- and there are a number of other Linux companies going public -- basically show that yes, you can actually make money in the open-source area.

The advantage of an open-source database is the ability to customize it to your specific needs. Having said that, very few customers who decide to use an open-source database actually avail themselves of the opportunity to customize code.

Open source users may not think through [operations and maintenance] to make sure they have the right support services. We're talking about enterprise-class software implementations. Any good CIO will want to make sure the software they're using is well supported, whether it's open-source or commercial code.

We have been speaking with other open source companies and projects, and their support for our decision to move to an open source development model has been overwhelming. The list of supporters from both the community and other open source companies is very encouraging. We are very grateful for their backing.
