Takeaways and Study Materials from the Open Source Business Conference
,----[ Quote ]
| Matt Asay, who chaired this week's Open Source Business Conference in San
| Francisco has a good post up with some links to good material from the event.
| Dries Buytaert gave a great presentation on open source community building
| and it's now online, the 451 Group collected some very provocative quotes
| from thought leaders, and more. Here are a few of the eye-catching missives
| Matt points to from OSBC, plus some of our own posts related to the event.

Mule - The Open Source Enterprise Integration Solution?
,----[ Quote ]
| Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a new architectural approach for
| building distributed systems that deliver application functionality as
| loosely coupled services. Till recently it was mere hype, but today it's a
| reality. The use of SOA has been moved from the laboratory level to
| enterprises level in order to seamlessly integrate disparate applications and
| create a common platform for carrying out mission critical business processes
| for the enterprises. The large enterprises are looking at SOA to maximize
| their returns by reducing complexity and cost of change and improving the
| leverage & reuse of assets within and outside the enterprise.

Open Source Monitoring: Zenoss Community and Zenoss Unique Selling Proposition,
an interview with Mark Hinkle
,----[ Quote ]
| Zenoss Core is developed by Zenoss, with the classical corporate production
| model but welcoming third parties contributions (zenpacks). In force of this
| choice, they have been able to create a unified data model, yet using few
| open source components.

No Justification Need

| What's at the forefront of my crabbiness is the almost-complete capture of
| the Open Source Business Conference's news cycle by Brad Smith's presence at
| that conference left me wondering who else was even there this week, other
| than Smith, Matt Asay, and a few pundits and luminaries. In a nicely done
| spin for the media, OSBC suddenly became about how Microsoft braved the
| lion's den, instead of the real progress a lot of companies are making in
| open source development and business.

All That Got Stolen Was Microsoft's Thunder
,----[ Quote ]
| The best response I've seen was from Jonathan Corbet at a panel at the Open
| Source Business Conference in San Francisco last May. Corbet is a Linux
| kernel developer himself and executive editor of the Linux Weekly News.
|
| "I feel I've been called a thief," he said levelly during a panel at the
| event, and pointed out that Microsoft was one of the companies that had
| patented "thousands of trivial functions ... There's no way to write a
| nontrivial program that can't be claimed to infringe on someone's patents."
