generated content,
collaboration, community
& collective intelligence
leading to the “wisdom of
the crowds” and/or the
“madness of the mobs 2.0
• web 3.0 - the
emergence of the
“semantic web” and “the
return of the expert”

• copyright
• proprietary
• open source
• “copyleft”

• open source software
• source - human and machine code
• open - viewable, changeable human code
• free...
• not as in “free beer” but as in “free speech”
• no purchased licence (for machine code)
• software written,actually use thefor and by a
community, who
for a purpose,
software
• not just software

• Open Office
• Writer, Calc, Impress, Base + Math, Draw
• Scribus - desktop publishing
• Thunderbird - email
• Firefox - browser

• how does open source work?
• programmers can read, modify and redistribute the
code - the software evolves...
• people improve it and adapt it - and at an astonishing
pace compared to conventional software development
• any change that improves on the original is shared
openly adding value over time
• people inspecting and adding value to open source
software improves the quality, security, development
speed and adaptability over time

• where’s the catch!?
• you still have to undertake a “software selection
process” - taking into account:
• are you going to be a user or a user and contributor?
• how mature is the community?
• how sustainable is the application?
• what new skills or technologies are required?
• who installs, integrates, trains, hosts, maintains and
supports the application?
• is there an SLA available?

web 2.0

services
