An Open Source Agnostic's View from the Inside |

The popularity of open source has been well documented and the reasons for its popularity are fairly well known: no license payments, frictionless commerce - collaborative development of a solution between users and developers speed at which new releases and big fixes are provided - and reduced QA costs. However, we must recognise that open source is still a relatively new phenomenon and the business models and the businesses are still in flux.
At JAX India 2007, Neelan Choksi will explore the following questions in this presentation. They include:
- Will open source business models stand that test of time of positive and negative cycles in the economy?
- If you separate out the monetisation of open source from the creation of intellectual property, what are the results that you can expect to happen?
- As the big players start to notice open source, what competitive reaction will they take?
- Open source is changing from being an industry value destroying disruptive force into a vehicle for innovation and change. Should the business model change to better reflect this new reality?
- As technologies mature, will open source technologies still be able to move with the agility that they can now or will real world demands of enterprise customers dictating backwards compatibility, long support cycles, etc., result in reduced speed of releases and reduced quantities of value add in each release?
We will explore these questions and more not just from the lens of technology management but also by examining the underlying economics and assumptions that go into the current wave of open source projects.
Neelan Choksi is Open Source Coach. At BEA, Choksi was instrumental in the open sourcing of Kodo as OpenJPA. Prior to that, he worked for Andersen Consulting Strategic Services, Exxon Research & Engineering and the often-publicised MIT Blackjack team.
