2013 Future of Open Source Study; presented via Webinar with thought leaders from North Bridge, Acquia, Black Duck, Thomson-Reuters, Hortonworks, & Jeffrey Hammond, Forrester. The panel was chaired by North Bridge. The 2013 survey represents the insights of more than 800 respondents – the largest in the survey’s history - from both non-vendor and vendor communities. study reveal the cultural impact of open source software and its influence on everything from innovation, to collaboration among competitors, to hiring practices, is revolutionizing the way organizations work and do business.
It's been recognized that software is eating the world. Our seventh annual Future of Open Source survey points to the fact that open source is eating the software world. This year's results signal a shift in reasons why open source is chosen over proprietary alternatives. Increasingly, enterprises see it as leading innovation, delivering higher quality and driving growth rather than being just a free or low-cost alternative. Going forward, as broader adoption creates a virtuous cycle of innovation and investment, we can expect more disruption from open source, new business models and many more exciting new projects and companies, according to the North Bridge Press Release.
Cloud adoption continued to rise in 2013, with 75 percent of those surveyed reporting the use of some sort of cloud platform – up from 67 percent last year. That growth is consistent with forecasts from GigaOM Research, which expects the total worldwide addressable market for cloud computing to reach $158.8B by 2014, an increase of 126.5 percent from 2011.
This year’s survey finds several important shifts in why and how cloud computing is being used, obstacles to adoption, where cloud decision-making resides within organizations, and how the vendor landscape is changing. It also serves as a barometer for the industry’s progression. Feedback from across the different categories of respondents was consistent, signaling a convergence of vendor and user needs. Further, the survey reveals that business is driving the revolution deriving clear benefits from cloud adoption in the form of continuous innovation and business agility to yield competitive advantage.

A record-breaking 1,240 industry influencers took the 2014 survey, answering questions about OSS trends, opportunities, key drivers of open source adoption, community engagement, and the business problems OSS solves now and in the future. study highlight this democratization and proliferation of open source in three main areas: new people, new technologies, and new economics.
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, according to the North Bridge Press Release.
Black Duck Software and North Bridge Venture Partners announce the results of the sixth annual Future of Open Source Survey. Conducted in partnership with The 451 Group, the 2012 survey reveals that open source software (OSS) is leading innovation in major technology segments including mobile, cloud and big data, as well as creating innovative business models such as Open SaaS. The quality of open source, and the ability to continuously improve, is now one of the top reasons for its adoption.
With a record-breaking 1,300 respondents, the 2015 Future of Open Source Survey results highlight record levels of corporate participation in open source, as well as the greater impact OSS is having on technology and security. Yet, this year's results also reveal a reported lack of formal company policies and processes for consuming and managing open source and its associated legal, operational, and security risks.

The 2016 North Bridge & Black Duck Future of Open Source Study marks the 10th Anniversary of this survey. The study examines open source software trends on an annual basis. Notably, the 2016 survey findings position open source as today’s preeminent architecture, the foundation for nearly all applications, operating systems, cloud computing, databases, and big data.
In terms of the strategic influence open source has on their business, respondents see it as an engine for innovation, with 90% reporting they rely on open source for improved efficiency, innovation and interoperability. The most compelling reasons cited in the survey for use of open source included flexibility and freedom from vendor lock-in; competitive features and technical capabilities; ability to customize; and overall quality.
The 2016 results also show that the rapid adoption of open source has outpaced the implementation of effective open source management and security practices. Nearly half of respondents report they have no formal processes to track their open source, and half reporting that no one has responsibility for identifying known vulnerabilities and tracking remediation.
Key 2016 Insights:
Open Source Is The Modern Architecture. Open Source is the foundation now for nearly all applications, operating systems, cloud computing, databases, big data and more.
Open Source IS the Engine of Innovation. Open Source is driving business because it facilitates faster, more agile development. This translates into quicker builds, accelerated time to market and vastly superior interoperability.
There is a new generation of companies and business models emerging. Respondents report that in the next two or three years, the business models that will generate the most revenue for open source vendors are SaaS (46%); Custom Development (42%) and Services/Support (41%).
Challenges remain: Open Source security and management practices have not kept pace with rapid adoption. In the wake of high profile breaches, there is likely to be more emphasis on security.
Participation and contribution will secure the future of open source. Investing in the open source community spurs innovation, delivers exponential value and most of all, it’s fun. It continues to grow as a key hiring and retention tool in IT shops of enterprises, governments, and startups alike.

The panel was chaired by North Bridge. More than 450 respondents took part in the 2011 survey, including representatives from both the vendor and non-vendor communities. Respondents were asked about a wide range of issues impacting the open source software (OSS) landscape, including: economic impact on OSS, key drivers and barricades for OSS adoption, and suggestions for building and maintaining a profitable OSS business model.
For the first time, supporting the fact that open source has truly gone mainstream, end users accounted for 60 percent of the survey respondents and the quality of responses continues to increase, spreading across all levels of IT management from developers to a large number of C-level executives. Respondents have identified SaaS, cloud and mobile as the main areas that will have a dramatic impact on open source and that are driving growth.
The open source customers are now more focused on maturing technology issues, including improved operational excellence around areas such as support, product management, feature functionality and return on investment. This is in contrast to earlier years where the survey had pointed to things such as the legal implications of licensing and conforming to internal policies.
56 percent of respondents believe that more than half of software purchases made in the next five years will be open source.
95 percent of respondents noted that a turbulent economy continues to be “good” for OSS, though for the first year ever, lower cost has been overtaken by freedom from vendor lock-in as what makes OSS more attractive.
When asked about revenue generating strategies likely to create value for vendors, 56% of the respondents said that an annual, repeatable support and service agreement was the most likely.

2011 North Bridge Future of Cloud Computing Study|Results of industry-wide survey conducted in partnership with Gigaom, 451 Research + 30 collaborators.
North Bridge and Wikibon, announced the results of its sixth annual Future of Cloud Computing Survey, which analyzes trends in cloud computing, adoption, use and challenges on a yearly basis. The study provides the broadest and deepest exploration of cloud in the industry with 53 leading cloud companies participating as collaborators. This year’s survey received 1,351 responses, a record-breaking number, representing a 60/40 balance of user/vendor perspectives spanning senior executives to practitioners across all industry sectors such as Technology, F.I.R.E., Government, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Media, Professional Services and Transportation.
According to Wikibon’s July 2016 report based on market conditions and recent public cloud revenue results of Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and IBM; public cloud spending is expected to accelerate rapidly, growing from $75B in 2015 to $522B by 2026 at a compound annual growth rate of 19%. Within each public cloud segment continued rapid growth rates are also expected during this period: SaaS (19% CAGR), PaaS (33% CAGR), and IaaS (18% CAGR). Wikibon estimates that by 2026, cloud will account for nearly 50% of spending related to enterprise hardware, software, and outsourcing services.
Cloud Strategy
Based on our survey, while slightly less than 50% of all companies either have a cloud first or cloud only strategy; some form of cloud strategy is pervasive among all with 90% of companies surveyed reporting that they use it in some way.
A new finding this year is the fact that a surprisingly high number, 42%, of companies surveyed derive 50% or more of their business through cloud-based applications. In fact, a whopping 79.9% of the companies surveyed were getting some revenue from the cloud. This speaks to the digital transformation occurring across many industries and how many are looking to not only move more quickly with the cloud but profit from it as well.

Presentation at the 13th International Free Software Forum, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Abstract: In Latin America, it’s well-understood that Brazil was pioneering in considering FOSS to be both a strategy and a tool for regional economic development. But what about the rest of the world? As FOSS/OSS enters the mainstream of industry, how are countries in Europe and Asia looking at this disruptive force in software development? And what is happening in the United States where one could argue a very strong proprietary software industry is reinventing itself, with the U.S. government both following and leading the open development model?
This talk discusses FOSS from the perspective of open information technology ecosystems and government’s role in them, providing a picture of the changing landscape of software industries and the potential for localized economic benefit to those participating. It includes a perspective of how governments are experimenting with becoming more directly involved with the open source community, and to learn from them. Stories and examples are drawn for the speakers experience, research and direct involvement with government, academic and industry bodies creating exemplary projects and reference models for others to consider.
Innovation represents for many companies the key to a successful future. Many CEOs around the globe are prioritizing and investing in innovation; however, the potential for innovation taking place within big organizations often goes unrealized.
Stefan Erschwendner, Managing Partner of LHBS, had the opportunity to speak at the Good School’s ‘Camp Digital’ on the topic of “Making Innovation Happen,” where he elaborated on the idea of innovation as well as its implementation inside of an organization.
The development of 5G networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) will employ a process likely to be dominated by agile development of technology and platform prototypes often in Open Source, collaborative projects, which put a premium on "code first.” In light of this industry shift, the Open Mobile Alliance has embarked on a survey of mobile/IoT industry professionals to shed light on trends towards cooperation between the Open Standards and Open Source communities.
* 86% of respondents say their company is maintaining or increasing participation in Open Source organizations.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Editor's Notes
2009 – 425, 2010 – 551, 2011 - 453
lots of engineers and developers followed by IT and mgt and CSuite - display the data that way - ensure it emphasizes the quality of and right respondents representing the industry
Question # 3. Which industry will be impacted the most by open source software over the next 2-3 years ?
Michael – (1) not new, demonstrated by fact that govt (2) rate of adoption in different industries
Tom – government – starting to realize – with sequestration – TCO – customer perspective, head start on particular needs, e.g. DOD – faster time to mkt; real big thing “open govt” – create & share them back – “shared first” – things you create in one part of govt to share in another part of govt.
Tim – net new/broadly adopted in fin svcs – lagging vs. leading indicator
Jeff- increasingly/broadly adopted in media
Could be good grist for the panel discussion: why did Gov’t rank so highly? Seems to be a different interpretation of the question/use of open source than the other industries, i.e., Gov’t end-user use of OSS vs. IT and tech consumption of OSS to build products/apps/services.
Tim –comment on medical
Rob – Big Data/health care records
4. How important are the following factors to the adoption of open source?
Ed – customer perspective – first two resonate – perceptions are changing around OSS being on-par with proprietary – more open to putting it into more strategic products; lock-in freedom-being worked over by a few large vendors – server-to CPU- Core-?? Need to control their costs, open source is a viable avenue; 3rd is “capability” – in forefront, flexibility of libraries, useful, not trending….
MJS – OS projects that are on par or better?
6. When choosing between open source projects for integration into your products, services or applications, how important are the following factors in your decision making ?
Jeff – larger seachange in way applications are built – capabilities or features that would have made commercial products more attractive – if you look at what’s going on, reality is – many OS projects are more competitive – new technology for everyone due to innovation quality of projects; less concerned about licensing, look to best price/performance – leading on the features, not just cost
Tim – couple with #1 point customers see it as strong quality & better features
Jeff – what is competitive – not everything, but I can deploy on AWS – nature of features
Tom – no longer a need for support? Pivotal HD example, product is superior, but complex, need help to deploy – 1200 person spinout of VMWare; GE ; make case that Commercial Vendor support less of an issue, when it’s needed, it’s out there and spectacular, not so much angst around community or vendors – more confident that there are support options
Ethos note: trending question/adoption – visual slide Slide 21
6. When choosing between open source projects for integration into your products, services or applications, how important are the following factors in your decision making ?
Tim: Rate of improvement
Ed: TR perspective; security is a board level priority; up practices and tooling; also covers OS
Would you consider OS more secure – transparency, many eyes on the problem, fully documented; scrutinize any issues
Ethos note: trending question/adoption – visual slide Slide 21

Ethos note: trending question/adoption – visual slide Slide 21
7.According to the past five Future of Open Source Surveys, companies are deploying open
source as an increasing share of their deployed code. To what extent do you believe this
trend will continue in the next 5 years?
Tom: Mulesource – integration of modules – SaaS has been driving growth….
Facebook, etc.
Tim or Jeff – one of the darlings is Twilio
16. In the software industry, there is growing interest in open APIs, used to access web and
cloud-based services. What is the extent of your experience with open APIs?
Jeff - Forrester published a wave of API mgt tools – hundreds of downloads – interesting piece of evidence – looking to know more – trying to figure out how to use them – corporate platform, headless version of business, hotels, media, healthcare, apparel taking the lead here

Rob – new area for innovation – Hadoop – pick an example that a problem that it’s solving uniquely well that can’t be resolved any other way
9. In your opinion, what are the main areas open source is leading the technology industry?
Tim – Inner-sourcing behind the firewall – what they are seeing
9. In your opinion, what are the main areas open source is leading the technology industry?
MJS – moving up stack fast
Tom – why is OS important in Content Mgt – innovation is the key, meeting the speed of the web, social has happened and old platforms can’t move, Sharepoint takes 3 years, need to integrate, not just an adjunct
Ed – as a customer?
Leave top off in discussion.
11. In what areas are open source products a superior alternative to proprietary products ?
Two slides - #1 & #2 expected, build to #3 which is interesting…
8. In your opinion, how important are the following reasons for engaging directly with and
contributing to an open source community:
Tim leads & Ed: Rise of roles like Eds, trying to collaborate, different development methodologies
#2 resonates with Ed, he is bombarded by technologists who want to contribute.
8. In your opinion, how important are the following reasons for engaging directly with and
contributing to an open source community:
Jeff - indicative of an understanding that when it comes to implementation, not OS as a concept, if you want water, go to well – need implementation experience, beyond tire kicking, beyond initial adoption to scale up/ramp up.
Ed – if you were going to hire someone – what are commercial support costs around OS – large scale components that don’t have support – not enough spend to justify – he prefers broad with methods – that pays off, one team developing using OS methods, onboard new team members in a fraction of the time, several fold quality increase.
13. I turn to the following as a trusted source for my open source software needs:
Rob – speak to this; Tim supports
Tim will comment
9. In your opinion, what are the main areas open source is leading the technology industry?
Tim leads:

2. How important will the following trends be for open source over the next 2-3 years
Tim – not a surprise – interesting thing – something unexpected.
17. Which of the following revenue generation strategies are likely to create the most value
for open source vendors over the next 2 years ?
Tom: Elementary – it’s on the rise; helps take non-monetizable and make it easy for community to adopt; speed is much bigger than one could have expected; see in all parts of the business; Open Stack –takes cost out of infrastructure – SaaS can offer a more compelling solution using underlying OS, cost of delivering service is lower, organizations are using them, freeing up capital and deploy to other things.
MJS?
