FACTORS FOR INCREASED ADOPTION 8out of 10are choosing open source based on QUALITY (2014) Vaults from fifth in 2011 to first in 2013 – widens lead in 2014 7

―This year‘s results signal an important shift in how enterprises view open source – a shift that will have tremendous impact on the future of development. Open source has proven its quality and security, and reached the point of democratization and proliferation. As such, organizations must – and, as our survey shows, some of the more sophisticated OSS users have already begun – changing the way they view their role. Understanding that it‘s about more than just cost-cutting or any of the traditional reasons to simply use OSS; it‘s about participating and managing the logistical challenges to gain competitive advantage, attract top talent, and influence project direction.‖ 8 LOU SHIPLEY, PRESIDENT & CEO, BLACK DUCK @LOUSHIPLEY @BLACK_DUCK_SW EATING THE SOFTWARE WORLD

―Open Source is enjoying a proliferation that starts with a growing number of new developers at the grass roots. Many then go on to join enterprises who themselves are engaging in Open Source projects. Further news in the survey shows enterprises now organizing to contribute back more actively; as they realize the importance of Open Source innovation to jumpstart careers and kickstart projects. As our survey continues to show Open Source is consuming the software world as the inherent quality, functionality, and increasingly ease of deployment creates a powerful gravitational pull on people and industries. This self-reinforcing, virtuous cycle will result in the most exciting applications having an Open Source foundation. Which is why many of the leading technology areas such as cloud, big data, content management and mobile are treating Open Source as their 'Foundational Platform.‘ Further, more new areas like the Internet of Things which requires interoperability and extensibility can only be met by open source initiatives, hence the emergence of new communities such as the AllSeen Alliance." 16 MICHAEL SKOK, GENERAL PARTNER, NORTH BRIDGE VENTURE PARTNERS @MJSKOK @NORTH_BRIDGE VIRTUOUS CYCLE

"Developers are the growth and innovation engine for business. These survey findings show that open source and open technologies, accelerated by open APIs, nurtures an entirely unique community of developers. We built Chef and our products on open source so web-scale companies we work with, including Facebook and Etsy, can tap the amazing knowledge and resources in open source communities.‖ JAY WAMPOLD, VICE PRESIDENT OF MARKETING, CHEF DEVELOPERS @JWAMPOLD @CHEF 19

―Open source continues to pick up steam. It‘s now helping to solve complex technology challenges facing most businesses; from big data and cloud applications to digital experiences. That is why investors are making big bets on open source companies. And while open source enterprise solutions may be found in every sector, they also remain a key driver in democratizing technical innovation, bringing world class technology to startups and blue chips companies alike. The results of this year‘s survey attest to the tremendous momentum that open source is experiencing.‖ DRIES BUYTAERT, CTO & CO-FOUNDER, ACQUIA @DRIES @ACQUIA PEOPLE 22

―Developers joining today‘s workforce are looking for companies that not only use and contribute to open source, but also create a culture of open, community-style development. As a result, enterprises must understand and adopt an Inner Source approach of applying OSS methods, processes and culture to internal development. By leveraging the innovation, collaboration, and efficiencies associated with open source communities inside their corporate firewalls, these organizations will not only attract the best new talent, but also to stay competitive now and in the future.‖ GUY MARTIN, SENIOR OPEN SOURCE STRATEGIST, SAMSUNG OPEN SOURCE GROUP @GUYMA ENTERPRISES 27

34 "Open source software and Linux, in particular, has sparked innovation and driven enhancements in mobile and computing capability while also dramatically lowering costs. Given this, the trend of increased corporate participation in open source software is not surprising and can be expected to continue. This is attributable to the evolution of a community of interest that has developed around open collaboration and patent non-aggression which facilitates higher levels of innovation." KEITH BERGELT, CEO, OPEN INVENTION NETWORK ENTERPRISES

36 "Open source software has emerged as the driving force of technology innovation, from cloud and big data to social media and mobile. This year's Future of Open Source survey results reinforce what we hear from the community and our customers, namely, that participation in open source projects can serve as a fantastic means to lower development costs, gain competitive advantage, influence a project's strategic direction, and find new talent."

―By opening up APIs enterprises and partners can easily integrate their existing enterprise infrastructure as well as to offer new and extended capabilities on top of a technology company's platform. Broad, secure and stable APIs are key to meeting enterprise requirements and give partners more freedom to innovate and build services in new ways — which is especially important in industries that are filled with proprietary approaches.‖ CARLOS MONTERO-LUQUE, CTO,, APPERIAN @APPERIAN APPLICATIONS 45

"Many colleges and Universities are already using opensource solutions (OSS) and will continue do so in the future because of how quickly and cost-effectively OSS can help to deploy projects. Due to budget constraints in recent years, faculty and staff have been asked to do more with less, so it makes sense to seriously consider open-source alternatives when faced with making strategic decisions...In addition, many incoming students…expect it to be part of the curriculum, whether in the classroom or as part of their campus job." KERRIN PERNICIARO, DIRECTOR OF WEB & IT STRATEGY, SUNY STONY BROOK @SBUDOIT @STONYBROOKU ENTERPRISES 48

OPEN SOURCE POWERING EDUCATION 49

―We are seeing the government and education sectors increasingly adopt open source platforms as the foundation for key initiatives. Open source technologies enable organizations to achieve high levels of agility in a cost effective manner. Eucalyptus began as a student research project at UC Santa Barbara in 2007 and we continue to receive significant contributions to the community from the education sector. Cornell University, Oxford University, USDA, FDA, and NASA JPL and Goddard, have deployed our open source private and hybrid cloud solutions to drive innovation across their organizations and accelerate business objectives.‖ GREG DEKOENIGSBERG, VP OF COMMUNITY AND PRODUCT, EUCALYPTUS @GREGDEK @EUCALYPTUS INDUSTRIES 50

―It's not surprising to see the increase in enterprise open source adoption. The benefits of open source are well known and our ability to manage its usage continues to improve. Enterprises are smart to let developers choose the best available solution to accelerate complex development. With the right oversight and support in place, mission-critical applications can safely benefit from open source. It's something we expect to see become ubiquitous.‖ ROD COPE, CTO, OPENLOGIC - A ROGUE WAVE COMPANY @RODCOPE @OPENLOGIC VENDORS 83

―Open source is playing a critical role in fueling the development of next generation, real-time Big Data solutions. For one, open source software developers are focused today on supporting devices and sensors which are vital elements in the ecosystem that will power the ‗smart‘ revolution. We believe strongly in the open source movement and the positive impact its having on software development, particularly in the Big Data arena. The 2014 Future of Open Source Survey reflects the pulse of the market, providing valuable insight that will support our collective drive to accelerate the pace of innovation.‖ BRUCE READING, PRESIDENT & CEO, VOLTDB, INC. @BRUCEMREADING @VOLTDB APPLICATIONS & SERVICES 84
