MTLC OSS SIG podcast with IBM and Sun and Oracle
,----[ Quote ]
| The Mass Technology Leadership Council Open Source Software Special
| Interest
| Group had another meeting. The title was "Proprietary Software Company
| Views
| On Open Source ". There were three panelists: Bob Sutor, Vice President of
| Open Source & Standards, IBM; Karen Tegan Padir, Vice President, Enterprise
| Java Platforms, Sun Microsystems, Inc.; and Omar Tazi, Chief Open Source
| Evangelist, Middleware and Tools, Oracle Corporation. Bob Zurek and I
| moderated. A summary at the end was made by Karen Copenhaver of Black Duck
| and law firm Choate Hall & Stewart.
|
| It's interesting to hear traditional companies' software groups talk about
| Open Source. If you haven't heard IBM's Bob Sutor speak on the subject, I
| think it's worthwhile, and the viewpoints from the others are good, too. We
| did ask questions such as "what do the sales people do when they get the
| option to sell your expensive product or the Open Source one you also
| have?" Interesting to hear Oracle talk about Open Source, too.
