Helping corporations leverage the Web, using open source and the cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Open source for our company is also really huge. We release all the source
| code that we have to the general public and the communities we work in. We
| make a concerted effort to do that.
|
| All of what we use is open source. We’re a completely Ruby-on-Rails
| engineering team. The bigger idea of sharing and collaborating, we push that
| hard. It’s a distinct quality: are you willing to money into investing money
| and people’s salaries into something that might not make you money right
| away?

When is Open Source not Enough?
,----[ Quote ]
| Because of the fast evolution of Continuous Integration (CI), the first
| generation of enablement tools proliferated at lightning speed. Open source
| CI tools became widely used due to the ease in which an engineer could
| install it and start tackling the initial CI challenges that he faced. Once
| proven effective, these apps (particularly Cruise Control) spread like
| wildfire among other build engineers, and in most cases, development shops
| began ‘sewing' several instances together.

Cloud computing and open source face-off
,----[ Quote ]
| And Linux will make IBM money when used in cloud-based products which are
| metered to customers, often by the hour. One big reason that open source will
| help fuel the rise of cloud computing, while often becoming second fiddle to
| platforms in the cloud, is that software is only a component of a computing
| environment, albeit an expensive one and cloud economics almost always favor
| the incorporation of open source products. However, something that open
| source has only been partially successful at incorporating as a value creator
| (essentially, only the cost of development) is what IBM’s Sutor clearly
| stated: economies of scale.
