2009 Open Source Monitoring Conference
,----[ Quote ]
| As you can imagine, Iâm not excited to see
| more open core software. Groundwork has raised
| nearly US$30 million and continues to fail
| with its open core fork of Nagios, and while I
| consider Ethan much more capable I think it is
| a bad move. The popularity of Nagios was
| driven by its community, and it seems obvious
| that this community is not happy. Driving
| another wedge between them by splitting
| development into open and closed versions will
| not help.

Queplix didnât go Open, but for a Reason
,----[ Quote ]
| Strategic decisions about what to keep secret
| and what to make open should come out of a
| deep analysis of which are your value
| propositions and core competencies, and
| changing direction is always an option. I
| would consider the opportunity to not remove
| old open source links though, maybe updating
| those pages and explaining the change of
| strategy.

Survey: "Open Core" least popular open source option
,----[ Quote ]
| A survey of 118 enterprise IT and development executives conducted by open
| source solution provider OpenLogic concludes that the "Open Core" model for open
| source licensing trails behind dual licensing and open source with commercial
| support, in terms of acceptability to the enterprise.
|
| [...]
|
| These findings suggest that what enterprises are looking for ideally is a
| project backed by a community and multiple vendors, such as the Linux kernel.
