SugarCRM's new CEO on open source CRM and cloud computing
,----[ Quote ]
| Nearly three months ago, John Roberts, one of the founders of SugarCRM, a
| commercial open source CRM vendor, stepped down as CEO. Larry Augustin, a
| former venture capitalist and one of the driving forces behind
| SourceForge.net while he was chairman of VA Software, stepped in to replace
| him. SearchCRM.com sat down with Augustin to discuss his plans while he
| serves as interim CEO and to get his perspective (as a longtime open source
| evangelist) on the CRM market.

Windows losing out to Web-centric development?
,----[ Quote ]
| Due to the fast growth of open frameworks, it's no surprise that the
| developer is faced with a new dilemma. It's not "which OS should I write to?"
| anymore. It's now "which Web-centric tool will help me develop the best
| application?" From the perspective of the developer, this is a much
| friendlier environment.

Open Source or Cloud?
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, many cloud providers run their environments on open source
| software, so many cloud customers will end up indirectly using open source as
| well. But when seeking faster, cheaper solutions, organizations will need to
| examine the pros and cons of going with an on-premise open source solution,
| versus a pay-as-you-go cloud solution. ÂThis may be the next big software
| question of the new decade around the corner.

Stallman vs. Clouds
,----[ Quote ]
| Still, I think that RMS is onto something. The core promise of computing,
| even on a vast network that connects us all, is autonomy and independence.
| It's being free (as in freedom) to operate on your own, and to share what's
| meant to be shared in ways that nobody else can control, and to improve
| useful goods in ways that work for everybody. There are, in those core
| values, imperatives that seem at odds with the dependencies that "cloud
| computing" can sometimes involve.
