Over the past few years, we have seen a significant increase in open source activity by large IT vendors. What was once a technology movement driven by academia and hobbyists has become a key aspect of business strategy by some of the world's most well-known technology vendors. This panel discussion will include representatives from a number large IT vendors to explore the role that these vendors are having on the growth and maturity of open source, and to what extent these same vendors are having to balance the support and competitive aspects of open source.
