... and is an open source project funded by the U.S. Army
to develop a next generation real time distributed platform.
You are free to use, modify, and distribute SOSCOE.
Don’t worry, we aren’t sharing the super secret squirrel stuff.
9. Q: Assuming a Normal distribution, how
many developers must have the
opportunity to self select for your project
in order to have a 90% confidence that at
least 1% of the actual participants will be
5 σ above the mean? You know, the crazy
smart ones.
The ones you
want
13. A Brief Aside:
Three ways (that I can think
of) to make source funded
by government “open”* in
the DoD
* No attempt here to conform to OSF definition
14. • Government asserts rights (unlimited,
or gov purpose) and shares the code
• Government Owned (they wrote it)
and released via PAO
• Contractor copyright released to
open source community
15. “SHARE” is this
one
• Government asserts rights
(unlimited, or gov purpose) and
shares the code
• Government Owned (they wrote it)
and released via PAO
• Contractor copyright released to
open source community
16. But, if you’re a
contractor you don’t
have to wait for your
customer to make you
SHARE.
17. You’re customer is sick
of the Proprietary Lock In
Model (and doesn’t it make
you feel kind of crappy too?).
Maybe there is a Tipping Point?
18. If you are Proprietary
standing Lock In
here...
... go ahead
and
push!
19. • Government asserts rights

So, do this one
27. What we got:
• A seat at the standards table
• Energized developers who are contributing
and are known
• A broad community to critique and help fix
our stuff
• Sun testing and marketing our stuff
• Visibility for our brand
• An intentionally commoditized, easy to
adopt stack
