Future of Open Source Survey - Results
,----[ Quote ]
| The growth of open-source software in the
| commercial sector was also noted, and the
| promotion of open-source projects by
| commercial open-source companies was cited
| as a factor. (REvolution Computing
| promoting the R Project was one example
| given.) The other theme I spotted was
| innovation: while lowering costs is still
| the #1 ranked feature of open-source,
| access to new methods and the rapid pace of
| innovation in FOSS compared to proprietary
| software is now being listed as a critical
| reason to switch.

Mickos: What's bigger than open source?
,----[ Quote ]
| Mickos is a smart guy. He has deep
| institutional knowledge of the industry.
| For Eucalyptus to be wildly successful,
| it's going to have to be bigger than just
| open source, as The VAR Guy points out,
| i.e., bigger than just an open license
| attached to otherwise ordinary software.
| Customers pay for value, and that value, as
| Mickos thinks, sits at the nexus of cloud,
| open-source, and collective computing.
