What is Open Source?
5
What is Open Source?

• Open Source originally coined in a strategy
  session to position and explain Netscapes 1998
  announcement to give away the source code for its
  browser
• Open source has evolved to describe the
  principles and methodologies that promote open
  access to the production and design process for
  various goods, products and resources
• Today, Open Source Software (OSS) has become the
  most recognized form of open source

6
Open Source Software

• OSS was advocated to replace Free Software
• Less ambiguous term
• Higher comfort in the corporate world
• OSS follows the Bazaar vs. Cathedral
  Development Model
• Users as Co-Developers
• Early Releases
• Frequent Integration
• Multiple Versions
• High Modularization (SOC)
• Dynamic Decision-Making Structures

7
Open Source Software Process and Projects

• Open Source Processes
• Proven to be very successful
• Community-oriented and widely distributed
• Highly agile
• Organized through multiple governance models
• Open Source Projects
• Vast range from Linux to Apache to Eclipse
• Available in all layers of the technology stack
• Initially a commoditization of technology
• Now leading technology innovation

Open Source Software Future

• OSS penetration in G2000 continues to grow
• Productized OSS (Distributions) -- continues to
  challenge incumbents IBM, Oracle, BEA and Sybase
  are responding with hybrids
• New OSS buying pattern long tail components
  require new sellers
• OSS Governance -- IT/IS organizations piecing
  together their own solutions
• OSS-style Development - IBM is rapidly putting
  together a strategy around Jazz

Enterprise Adoption of Open Source
11
Enterprise Open Source Adoption Trends

• By 2010, Open Source will be included in
  mission-critical software portfolios within 75
  of G2000 companies.
• By 2010, 90 percent of Global 2000 organizations
  will have formal open-source acquisition and
  management strategies (0.8 probability)
• By 2008, OSS solutions will directly compete with
  closed-source products in all software
  infrastructure markets (0.8 probability)

• We're going to utilize the way the community
  develops software for ETrade proprietary
  development... and make ETrade more nimble.

Enterprise Open Source Adoption Benefits

• Open Standards
• Projects are built on established standards (JCP,
  RCF)
• Multiple implementations against established
  standards offers choice to users
• Reference implementations of standards driven by
  OSS
• Community Support
• Broad user base around OSS projects
• Expert consulting/development experience
  available for major projects
• Community forums/mailings lists helps users get
  started

13
Enterprise Open Source Adoption Benefits

• Extensibility
• Access to source provides extensibility
• Many projects driven to design for extensibility
• OSS frameworks and platforms offer technology
  leadership
• Licensing
• Less restrictive deployment licensing
• Ability to embed OSS technologies into products
• Enables massive deployments (Grid/Farm)

14
Enterprise Open Source Adoption Challenges

• Governance
• Licensing
• Delivery Mechanisms
• Intellectual Property
• Indemnification
• Community
• Diversity
• Infrastructure
• History
• Flexibility

• Support
• Availability
• Enterprise-readiness
• Vendors
• Integration
• Change velocity
• Lack of road maps
• Missing Enterprise features
• Highly Componentized

Enterprise Adoption
"CIOs can't afford to treat open source as a
throwaway, and they can't afford to do without
support for the open source that becomes a vital
component of their infrastructures.
Christopher Koch Exec Editor, CIO Magazine

Open Source Adoption Guidelines for Success

• Look Beyond OSS Code
• Licensing
• Community Statistics and Health
• Real-time Engineering Infrastructure
• Evaluate Vendor Offerings
• Distributions
• Support Subscriptions/SLAs
• Add-ons
• Understand and Leverage the OSS Process Model
• Distributed development
• Modular, re-usable components
• Incremental development based on rapid iterations

Open Source Adoption Enterprise Planning

• What are you using?
• Identify the OSS and versions in your Enterprise
• Understand the dependencies your organization has
• What licenses can you use?
• Determine licenses youll allow in your
  Enterprise
• Gather information on OSS licenses
• How are you managing IP Verification?
• Track your source to ensure Cut and Paste
  violations are occurring

19
Open Source Adoption Enterprise Planning

• Do you need support?
• Dont forget that support is available for many
  OSS projects
• Investigate these support subscriptions and
  determine what you need
• Are you indemnified?
• Determine your legal requirements
• Build a policy and structure for contributions

20
Open Source Adoption Artifact Management

• Artifact-driven Engineering
• Born of modularization and community development
• Offers a place to store binary artifacts,
  associated source and metadata
• Extended to store
• License information
• IP Verification Reports
• Community resources
• Dependencies
• Centralized Store for Artifacts
• Bridges OSS communities and internal use
• Allows for internal projects to share
• Promotes Community-Oriented Development

21
