Open Source is Entering the Enterprise Mainstream, Survey Shows
,----[ Quote ]
| Open-source solutions used to be adopted quietly by company boffins who snuck
| in an Apache Web server or an open-source development tool suite under the
| philosophy "It's easier to get forgiveness than permission" (not to
| mention "It's easier to do it with open-source tools than to get an IT
| budget").
|
| That's no longer the case, according to a survey of IT and business
| executives and managers, conducted in late April 2008 by CIO.com. The survey,
| collecting data from 328 respondents, showed that more than half the
| respondents (53 percent) are using open-source applications in their
| organization today, and an additional 10 percent plan to do so in the next
| year. For nearly half, 44 percent, open-source applications are considered
| equally with proprietary solutions during the acquisition process.

| Foundation and director of community and partner programs for OpenLogic.

| movement and why she thinks open source software is more secure than
| proprietary code.

Study: Developers Favor Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| "Regardless of what kind of developer you are, you're still trying to
| make a living, and target the operating system that?s controlling the
| market."

| However, in the most recent survey, the developers' forecast of their
| target platform has changed. For the first time, these developers said

| apps than Windows apps.
