Crowd Question

                   Open source is a business model ?



                                        Answer
                                         NO
Johan Janssens - http://www.nooku.org
Free / Open Source Software
                                 • Not a mystery
                                 • Not a religion
                                 • Not a charity
                                 • Not anti-commercial
                                 • Not against ownership
                                 • Not socialism
                                 • Not a business model


                  A smarter way to produce the software
                and a smarter way to distribute the software



Johan Janssens - http://www.nooku.org
Pursuit of Software Freedom and Profits

               Success in open source requires you to serve

                 1. Those who spend time to save money

                 2. Those who spend money to save time



           Differentiation drives the compelling reason to buy,
            but incorrectly implemented it may also drive the
                     ”compelling reason to abandon”



Johan Janssens - http://www.nooku.org
Open Source business models are hybrid

    Software is free, but:

    1. … we need donations and subsidies to survive(Apache
    Software Foundation, Eclipse, ObjectWeb)

     2. … we sell ads and placements (Mozilla)

     3. … if you embed it in closed source, you pay a fee
     (Trolltech, DB4Objects, Funambol, MySQL, etc.)

     4. … services are for a fee (Covalent, Ubuntu/Canonical)


Johan Janssens - http://www.nooku.org
Open Source business models are hybrid

    Software is free, but:

     5. … on-going maintenance, monitoring and provision of
     binaries is for a fee (Red Hat, JBoss, MySQL)

     6. … some enterprise features are for a fee
     (SugarCRM, Zimbra, JasperSoft)

     7. … we built a closed-source product around it
     (EnterpriseDB, GreenPlum)

     8. … hardware is for a fee (Sun, Asterisk/Digium)

Johan Janssens - http://www.nooku.org
Open Source business models are hybrid

    Software is free, but:

    9. … we sell everything else on the planet, including
    closed source software (IBM)
   10. … that's not our real business (Ruby on Rails,
   individual contributors, etc.)

    11. … we regret it (Borland with Interbase)

     12. … we don’t want to see it any more (any good
     examples?)



Johan Janssens - http://www.nooku.org
Open Source business models are hybrid

    Software is free, but:
    13. … we want to drive web traffic (Yahoo YUI)

    14. … since we bought Sun and now we are stuck with it

Johan Janssens - http://www.nooku.org
Crowd Question

             Joomla is not a product, it's a project ?



                                        Answer
                                        YES
Johan Janssens - http://www.nooku.org
Barriers to Open Source adoption


         1. Lack of formal support and services.
         2. Velocity of change.
         3. Lack of roadmap.
         4. Functional gaps.
         5. License types.
         6. Lack of endorsements


        open source projects generate software, they do not
                    generate ‘whole product’


Johan Janssens - http://www.nooku.org
The Open Source principles

           1. Free as in ‘Freedom’ Not ‘Zero cost’
            2. Principle of ‘Openness’
            3. Principle of ‘Transparency’
            4. Principle of ‘Early and often’
            5. Expectation of ‘Community’


         The community is a byproduct of the project. The
        project is a byproduct of the open source principles.

Crowd Question

                 Is there a Joomla business model ?



                                        Answer
                                        YES

Summary




Johan Janssens - http://www.nooku.org
Summary



     • FOSS business won’t work unless you serve both
     those who spend time to save money and those who
     spend money to save time

     • Open source projects generate software, they do not
     generate ‘whole product’. Commercial open source
     does.

     • It is early and the FOSS industry is still experimenting
     with business models
