The State of the Open Source Industry

April 17
9:30 AM, Room E146

Tracks: Open Source, Software, Open to all Attendees

Open source remains a disruptive force in the software industry.  Having moved beyond its early roots in academia and as a driver for social change, open source is now playing a role in traditional software markets, as a driver of transformation, or in some cases, a source of new competition.

This presentation will take a look at the impact that open source is having on software vendors, end users and the investment community; where it fits and where it still struggles to provide value; the role of commercialization; and the outlook for open source moving forward.
