Introduction to Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)Dong Calmada
An attempt to orient the unconverted and the semi-converted on the history and benefits of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Created for the PANACeA FOSS training in Bangkok (Feb 2010).
This presentation is an introduction to Free and Open Source Software Licensing and Business Models. An open-source license is a type of license for computer software and other products that allows the source code, blueprint or design to be used, modified and/or shared under defined terms and conditions. This allows end users to review and modify the source code, blueprint or design for their own customization, curiosity or troubleshooting needs.

Expert Lecture delivered at K. K. Wagh Polytechnic, Nashik (INDIA)
by,
Tushar B Kute (Asst. Professor, Sandip Institute of Technology and Research Centre, Nashik)
There are hundreds of open source licenses. Most developers don't take the time to read or understand them, but can you continue to ignore them? We have seen a rise in litigation around open source license over the last 10 years. And, in the last 12 months we have seen the first examples of OSS copyright trolls that are taking developers to court in an attempt to monetize GPL violations.
This presentation covers: How OSS licenses are enforced;
What are the main types of OSS licenses; How to identify them;
and what steps you need to take to ensure you are complying.
We cover use case scenarios and do a "deep dive" on the most used licenses today and how to understand them

Learning from a decade of experience of creating various IoT and Big Data solutions for various companies in Alto Adige/Südtirol, in this talk, the speaker will highlight the emerging trends & challenges in the acceptance and adoption of open source solutions in the Alto Adige/Südtirol region. Particularly, how various factors like cost, functionality, features, subscription model, support and product life-cycle impact, positively or negatively, such an adoption. At times, such factors have to be traded-off with each other, in order to convince companies and individuals to use more open-source solutions. The speaker will highlight the current and past trends and challenges in Alto Adige/Südtirol. Furthermore, he will also focus on various strategies that can be adopted to further support the acceptance of open-source solutions by the companies of the region.
Many CIO's and IT decision markers remain fascinated with the Open source Philosophy. Once viewed by some within the enterprise as a low-budget option to other proprietary software’s, open-source software has evolved into a strategic asset for many CIOs and IT administrators, earning equal footing in their businesses with proprietary software. But is it the right option for your business? This article tells us that the result to this question is neither art nor science, and offers a brief introduction for decision makers looking to go down the Open Source route for their Business Intelligence Solution.

Single-Vendor Open Source at the CrossroadsDirk Riehle
Most venture capital funding in open source flows to single-vendor open source firms. With the struggles over licensing in the cloud, these companies find themselves at the crossroads: Stay true to open source or move to proprietary licenses, abandoning the goodwill and opportunities that come with open source. In this talk I will review how this business model works, discuss the challenges posed to vendors by large cloud providers, and review the current options on the table.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

●
growing phase, promising future
●
In this seminar I have tried to simplify the notion of
FOSS, commercial and non-commercial projects.
7. WHAT IS FOSS?
●
There are two terms to separate in FOSS.
●
“Free software” is a matter of liberty, not price.
●
Freedom to
− Run (freedom 1)
− Study how program works (freedom 2)
− Redistribute copies (freedom 3)
− Modify / improvise (freedom 4)
●
“Open” mainly points to Open Source Code of the program,
available for others.
●
get software at no cost but as per license we can enjoy the above
four
8. ●
going through phase of immense transformation.
●
Currently it is worth $60 billion
●
SourceForge.net hosts more than one million users,
involved in some way with approximately one hundred
thousand projects
●
no real geographic barriers
●
These figures speak volumes, something unique about
the philosophy of FOSS
●
Freedom, grow beyond its creators

15. HOW TO MAKE MONEY FROM
FOSS
●
1)Dual license model
●
released under a restrictive open-source license ,provide an alternative
proprietary license.
●
You have some sort of monopoly in the market leader
●
Motivation: Client likes product and needs it for commercial use. does
not want to breach the open-source license and is willing to pay
●
Open-source license: GPL suitable license to this strategy because it is
restrictive
●
Examples:
●
Mozilla Foundation has a deal-partnership with Google and other
companies
●
Apple Inc. offers Darwin for free, selling Mac OS X.
●
Red Hat offers the Fedora for free, selling Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL).
●
MySQL is offered for free, but with the enterprise version you can get
subscription, support and additional features.
16. 2)Dual product model
●
penetrate the market by releasing an open-source product,
●
sell a different product with an extended version, plug-ins or up-
gradation.
●
Motivation: The user gets to be a part of an open-source
community process, contributes to the source and improves it.
Users purchase other related products from the project
professionals.
●
Open-source license: MIT, BSD, Apache or any other non-
copyleft license.
●
Example:
●
Eclipse and its non open source plug-ins.
●
Sun Microsystems offer OpenOffice.org for free, while
selling StarOffice.
17. 3)Professional services model
●
This strategy requires a large base of clients
●
the product must not be simple to use
●
There is no problem implementing this strategy combined with one of the
other strategies discussed before
●
In fact it is recommended as a complementary strategy for both.
●
Motivation: We are the experts in this open-source project because we
wrote it, therefore clients would like to purchase support and other
services from us.
●
Open-source license: Any
●
Example:
●
a) JBoss itself is open source but RedHat provides a support
subscription for JBoss Enterprise Middleware with prices from around
$6000 to $110,000 per year
18. 4) Open source bounty
●
It is a reward, usually monetary, for making positive contributions to an
open-source project.
●
Eg.BountySource
●
Motivation: there is at least someone in this world who can solve my
problem.
●
Examples:
●
Sun MicroSystems has offered $1 million in bounties for OpenSolaris,
NetBeans, OpenSPARC, Project GlassFish, OpenOffice, and OpenJDK.
●
The Google Summer of Code and the OSU Winter of Code provide
stipends to students working on open source code.
●
Mozilla introduced a Security Bug Bounty Program offering $500 to
anyone who finds a "critical" security bug in Mozilla.
●
Bounties are often used for implementing minor features, whereas
bidding and/or grants are more typically used for major features.
19. RUNNING A PROFITABLE BUSINESS
WITH FOSS
●
Initial research for feasibility criteria.
●
tool for strategic planning and decision support since
running a profitable business is not easy.
●
Two methods for software models
●
total cost of ownership (TCO)
●
the return on investment (ROI)
20. TCO
●
Direct Costs –those identified in traditional IT budgets,
including (Hardware & software
acquisition, operation and administration
costs, etc)
●
Indirect Costs – those costs generated from IT users
including (Downtime due to misuse or mistakes, end-
user operations, continuous training needs etc.)
“TCO for free and open
source projects can never be Rs.0 “
21. ROI
●
We need a method to measure something more important. How
much we will get in return on making an investment.
●
A simple way to look at ROI
ROI=RETURN/INVESTMENT
25. SHORTCOMINGS OF FOSS
Lack of business applications
●
Alhough GnuCash, TurboCash do exists, basic, polished
accounting applications as good as Tally do not have FOSS
equivalents at this time.
●
Scarcity of competent people. It is rare for a software
developer to encounter, say, accounting problems.
●
Interoperability with proprietary systems
●
not entirely compatible with proprietary systems.
●
For organizations that have already paid massive amounts of
capital into proprietary applications, may prove to be prohibitive
Documentation and “polish”
●
Established FOSS lacks the user-friendliness
26. ●
No warranties- regarding virus and performance
related issues.
●
Staff must be open source savvy-When compared
with existing proprietary systems. The cost of training
is considered as a major disadvantage when migrating
27. HOW TO START OR
CONTRIBUTE TO FOSS PROJECT
●
Numerous websites hosting projects
Contributing Time/Skills
●
Most open source software is built completely by volunteers (without
compensation) because they want a product that fits their needs.
●
The list of skills of contributors may seem large, but every person has different
skills to offer and your skills may be what it takes for a project to evolve. In most
cases you do not need to be a programmer to help
By adding his hands, eyes and associated skills to their project he may take project
to the next level
Product Purchases
●
As with the Membership and Subscriptions, by purchasing goods from the project's
store
Donations
●
Feel free to visit the project's home page to see if a donation link
28. The laymen Contributions
●
as a user can give back in a way that requires no money and
limited time.
●
by filling bug reports and recommendation so they can fix issues
and adapt the product to better fit the needs of the current users.
●
●
As you have seen from the list there are many ways to help the
community more in the long term.
29. FUTURE OF FOSS
●
Currently, proprietary software is king.
●
When you buy a new computer, you will be getting Windows That
is the "default choice".
●
However, it is not the only choice! Equivalents available
●
There's plenty of money in open source for commercial vendors.
Worth billions in IT world
●
but there's also plenty of opportunity for customers to build and
support their own open source derived projects.
●
Free from VENDOR LOCK-IN forever !
●
We're in the 21st Century now. customers get to decide
●
“The Customer Century.”
