Engineers have collaborated on software since they've written software all the way back through the 1950s. In the past few years we have begun to see people argue for a different definition of open source software and raise concerns for the sustainability of the ecosystem. This talk looks at the underpinnings of those concerns, and how the future of free software is an anchor going forward. https://2020.copyleftconf.org/schedule/presentation/8/

Building a business is hard work, but it is even harder when the business starts with a faulty premise. This presentation will walk the audience through models for thinking about open source software economics, and business modelling to help understand what business ideas will likely work in a world enabled by open source software. The talk looks at: - The underlying economics of open source software development from both the production and consumption perspectives. - The basics of business modelling that will help folks understand the risks and strengths of open source licensed software. - The pitfalls and dangers of getting the model wrong. - Several case studies in successes and failures in the space. - A way to think about the use and abuse of open source software foundations.

In 1995 everything changed with the creation of the World Wide Web. Anything that could be digitized was digitized and entire industries changed. And with the digitization came tools to help everyone become a producer of digital content. From music to video, books to journalism, we pulled all the friction out of the content pipeline and democratized entire industries. But the industry we never talk about is the one that was already digital – software. Software was democratized as well. We’ve shared software for as long as we’ve written software. By pulling the friction out of the pipeline around software and sharing it liberally through open source licensing, we’ve ended up in a completely new software industry over the past 20 years. This talk presents the trends that got the industry to where it is, as well as ideas for the coming challenges for the next twenty years of open source software. It might be a cautionary tale.

Publishing software with an open source license is the definitive step, but it doesn’t create a community. Growing and scaling a successful open source software project requires building three on ramps for users, developers, and ultimately contributors. This short talk outlines the practices and patterns for these on ramps, demonstrating how they relate to one another. More importantly the talk sets the mind set to bring to the discussion. Delivered at the Community Leadership Summit 2017 http://bit.ly/2qiP3z0

I think 2016 was the year of open source angst. We're caught between discussions about open source sustainability and accelerating corporate open source projects. I tackle the two open source vectors most people discuss: community and corporate engagement. The real problem, however, is the democratization of software and the growing skills gap as the demand for software goes up. This talk was given at SCaLE 15X (http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/15x/presentations/trouble-open-source-software).

There are two parts to the “success” of an open source software project: Deployment growth: One publishes software to see it used. As the software is used, it reflects the dynamic nature of software, and is used in new ways to solve new problems. This leads to the second part of the success formula -- contributions. Contribution flow: A free or open source software project is at it’s simplest a discussion in software, and without contributions the conversation fades and fails. From a more complex community perspective, a FOSS project is about the economics of collaborative innovation and development. Without a continuous contribution flow, the dynamic aspect of a software project will become static and brittle and lose its relevancy. There are three on ramps to be built to drive the success of an open source project: Bringing new users to the project, enabling developers, and encouraging contributors. This talk looks at how these on ramps can be organized to drive growth and adoption, and to grow a successful and vibrant community around an open source project.

There have been lots of discussions in the cloud world about traditional 3-tier application workloads that are highly managed (i.e. Pets) and their modern web-counterpart workloads that are scalable, resilient, and fault tolerant (i.e. Cattle). But how does one migrate business critical applications from a "simple" virtualized world into a hybrid-cloud based on OpenStack? This talk walks through moving a running web application from one such virtualized 3-tier world into an OpenStack-based cloud world and the sorts of changes that need to be considered for re-architecting the app and re-deploying it into the cloud. The steps are meant to provoke conversations and should not be considered a recipe book.

When FOSS project communities reach a certain critical point in their growth, corporations express interest in participating. Corporations have more stringent and robust software IP management needs, however, and projects are not always up to the task. Neutral non-profit FOSS foundations have proved to be a solution to these problems, providing for the IP management needs of corporations while offering additional business and technical services to the project communities to encourage further growth and adoption.

Free and open source software (FOSS) project communities continue to grow and thrive. When such projects reach a certain critical point in their growth, corporations express interest in participating. Corporations have more stringent and robust software intellectual property (IP) management needs, however, and projects are not always up to the task. Neutral non-profit FOSS foundations have proved to be a solution to these problems, providing for the IP management needs of corporations while offering additional business and technical services to the project communities to encourage further growth and adoption. This presentation reviews how such neutral non-profit organizations have grown to meet the evolving legal, business, and technical needs of FOSS communities and businesses.

A talk I gave at Open World Forum 2011, Paris. FOSS projects grow until they reach a certain size but can grow no further. FOSS Foundations enable projects to grow to reach their potential by providing the legal structures and tools to enable corporate contribution and wider adoption. This talk looks at a brief history of foundations in the FOSS space, and what tools they provide to help community projects grow.

With more memory available, system performance of three Dell devices increased, which can translate to a better user experience Conclusion When your system has plenty of RAM to meet your needs, you can efficiently access the applications and data you need to finish projects and to-do lists without sacrificing time and focus. Our test results show that with more memory available, three Dell PCs delivered better performance and took less time to complete the Procyon Office Productivity benchmark. These advantages translate to users being able to complete workflows more quickly and multitask more easily. Whether you need the mobility of the Latitude 5440, the creative capabilities of the Precision 3470, or the high performance of the OptiPlex Tower Plus 7010, configuring your system with more RAM can help keep processes running smoothly, enabling you to do more without compromising performance.
