The 2015 North Bridge & Black Duck Future of Open Source Study reviews 2015 Future of Open Source survey findings in the context of 9 years of research.
The 2015 Survey was led by North Bridge & Black Duck in collaboration with Jeffrey Hammond, Forrester Research & 41 organizations–startups, large vendors & global foundations. The survey received 1300 completed responses from IT & business professionals across industry.
The 2015 findings demonstrate the pervasive nature of open source & highlight the abundance of organizations participating in the open source community. 78% of respondents said their companies run part or all of its operations on OSS & 66% said their company creates software for customers built on open source. This statistic has nearly doubled since 2010, when 42% of respondents in the Future of Open Source survey five years ago said that they used open source in the running of their business or their IT environments.
The growing corporate usage is attributable to the advantages provided by Open Source. Advantages sited included attracting top IT talent & the ability to innovate & create competitive advantage. Comparing Open Source to Proprietary software, open source wins in features, ease of deployment, & ability to scale. In 2-3 years, some factors show Open Source as superior-Security, Quality, & Ease of Deployment among them.
The trend of Open Source shaping the future of new technology & security continues. Cloud computing, Big Data, Operating Systems, & the Internet of Things rose to the top of the list. When evaluating security technologies for internal use, 45% of respondents said open source options are given first consideration.
Open source means business. Among key business attributes, open source fuels innovation & impacts both revenues & margins. However, below the surface, the growth of open source has also exposed some of the governance gaps that need to be addressed: More than 55% of respondents said their company has no formal policy or procedure for open source consumption. Moreover, only 27% have a formal policy for employee contributions to OSS projects. A mere 16% have an automated code approval process & less than 42% maintain an inventory of open source components. More than 50% are not satisfied with their ability to understand & known security vulnerabilities in open source components, & only 17% plan to monitor open source code for security vulnerabilities
Open Source continues to attract investments from the Venture Capital Industry in early stage investments & more recently via acquisitions. In 2014, there were 39 deals completed for $3.9B. Within its own portfolio, North Bridge holds $1.3B in Open Source companies.
Despite the governance gaps found in the survey and the need to pay closer attention to policies - Pervasiveness is evident…. So WHO WILL BE THE NEXT GREAT OPEN SOURCE COMPANY?
Let us know who & when you think it will be. Follow us @FutureofOSS #FutureOSS
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.

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.
2015 North Bridge Future of Cloud Computing Study, with Wikibon |Broadest exploration of cloud trends, cloud migration & evolution of the cloud computing sector. Survey participation was the largest to date and included responses from 38 countries. 50 collaborators supported the 5th Annual Future of Cloud Computing study, which reveals that cloud has become an accepted and integral technology. Furthermore, the study shows that despite deployment gaps among clouds, we should expect a future powered by hybrid cloud technologies. The question of whether companies are using the cloud has morphed to how deeply cloud adoption is integrated within the business. From the bottom to the top, all products and services will in some way be powered by the cloud making the promise of goods and services that have the potential to be better tomorrow than today. IT departments have reclaimed the reins on driving company technology strategy and cloud adoption as roles, skills and processes have shifted. Importantly, We’re also seeing the emergence of the cloud as the only way businesses can truly get more out of their data including analyzing and executing on it real-time. On the investment front, 2015 could tip the scale from private to public capital for SaaS companies.

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.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

33. CASE STUDY
CUSTOMER
CASE STUDY FOR
The Document Foundation is a not for
profit foundation based in Germany,
and the house of LibreOffice: the best
free office suite, and as such the best
alternative to proprietary solutions.
Migrating to LibreOffice is an
opportunity for both enterprises and
public administrations, to switch to
standard document formats and
reduce desktop TCO.
In order to ease the process and make
it predictable, The Document
Foundation has developed a protocol
for migrations based on best practices,
which has helped several large
organizations to succeed.
The workflow and the timeline on the
right provide a visual representation of
a migration project, which should
always be backed by certified
professionals.

applications - such as LibreOffice - on the desktop is increasing.
This is due to the maturity of the software, and a growing
ecosystem of companies able to provide value added services on top
of free software. Business opportunities are attracting both
enterprises and volunteers, and fostering the development of a
stronger community.”

39. “Nowhere is the effect of open source software (OSS) more pronounced
than in the growth markets of Fast + Big Data, Cloud, and IoT. As
enterprises move beyond collecting Big Data for later analysis to driving
value in real time from fast streams of incoming data, their reliance on
OSS will continue to grow. Developers prefer to use OSS, CIOs are
breaking down institutional barriers to enable use of OSS tools, and
consumers are snapping up OSS in nearly everything they buy, from
mobile phones to connected cars. The 2015 Future of Open Source
Survey reflects these market trends, and points the way to cross-
industry innovation and opportunity.”

CASE STUDY FOR
There was an urgent need for the client to
move numerous internal applications to open
source to grow revenue across multiple
divisions and ensure better application
performance, response time and flexibility.
The client selected Wipro for its knowledge,
expertise and deep experience in large-scale
open source-based project implementations.
Wipro’s open source team took ownership of
the transformation and consolidation,
implementing an open source adoption
strategy that helped migrate 300+ Java/J2EE
applications to private cloud, and adopt an
open source ESB platform based on Apache
Camel and JBoss Fuse technologies.
The financial services company was able to
seamlessly migrate applications and adopt
open-source in their environment, delivering:
• Faster time-to-market
• Increased scalability and flexibility of
existing applications
• Significant reduction in hardware and
software licensing cost
• More control of IT environment and
reduced vendor lock-in

seen through our involvement in the open source community and
our work with customers to help discover open source in a
company’s code base, identify known security vulnerabilities, and
track remediation. In the results this year, it has become more
evident that companies need their management and governance of
open source to catch up to their usage. This is critical to reducing
potential legal, security, and operational risks while allowing
companies to reap the full benefits OSS provides.”
