The ‘3rd Wave’ of open source: Hyperscale Platform players
Cloud vendors are who’s powering open source now
Open source is winning in the data center as the
emerging ”standard” for most of cloud infrastructure
components
“…because they’re in the business of operationalizing
software, not selling it, these companies are perhaps
best positioned to fuel, not destroy, open source for
many years to come.”

The ‘4th Wave’ of open source adoption: Enterprise contribution
https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/the-hidden-benefit-of-giving-back-to-open-source-software
• Companies are increasingly using
crowdsourced public goods as inputs for
innovation and production
• Counterintuitively, some firms pay their
employees to contribute to the creation of
these goods, which can be used freely by
their competitors
• They learn by contributing as they receive
feedback from the crowd of more
experienced users and are therefore able
to better capture value from using open
source software
• Contributing firms capture up to 100%
more productive value from usage of OSS
than their free-riding peers

Open Source Matters to IBM and our clients
1999
IBM’s journey in open governance for open source
started with our leadership in the formation of
the Apache Software Foundation
2001
IBM worked with
others to create
the Eclipse
Foundation with
an initial grant of
the Eclipse Java
IDE framework.
Our 2001 $30M investment in contributed
software lead to the creation of arguably the most
popular IDE for developers of Java applications
and more. We have since open sourced our J9
Java virtual machine, Liberty java run time, and
founded a micro profile group with the Eclipse
Foundation. Along with Oracle and others, we
have created a new home in Eclipse for Java
Enterprise Edition. This will cement Eclipse as the
place for open source java.
http://www.eclipse.org/
$30MIBMers serve on a number of open source
foundation boards, including Linux, Eclipse,
Apache, CNCF, Node.js, Hyperledger, and
many others, and we have tens of thousands
of IBMers using and contributing to open
source.
IBM developers are working every day
in open source projects that matter,
making thousands of contributions to
hundreds of open source projects
each month.
IBM has invested close to
$1 billion and
dedicated hundreds of open
source development,
marketing, and evangelism
resources over the past five
years.
We have more than twice as
many active open source
projects on the Github
platform as Microsoft.
Years IBM has
been a leading
participant in
open source
communities.
IBM hosts over 1,200 open source repositories on
GitHub. We have almost 1,000 IBMers contributing to
over 1,000 open source projects annually (At any
given time there are more than 1000 IBMers active in
open source).
