While Android and open source software not-so-quietly revolutionized the mobile industry, Enterprise IT organizations have taken notice. “The consumerization of IT” and ubiquity of mobile devices are forcing a transformation of Enterprise IT infrastructures, something that Geoffrey Moore refers to as “Systems of Record” and “Systems of Engagement.” These new infrastructures will be built largely with open source components. But whether developing a new device or new IT infrastructure, development with open source software is not business as usual. Choosing and modifying components from external sources, integrating with proprietary code, evaluating licenses and community viability, etc., require new processes for choosing components and new ways of providing control and visibility. In this presentation Peter Vescuso will discuss the issues of OEM development with Android and open source, where and how it impacts Enterprise IT, and for both how to provide the control and visibility required by management while giving developers the freedom they need to create and innovate.

- Gartner Group ‘s lead analyst on open source, Mark Driver (data in the slide is from November 2010), summarized the benefits and key challenges of using FOSS.In addition, Mark has commented on the ubiquity of open source, that it is unavoidable and should be embraced as part of normal development process. Mark also made the following predictions:-- By 2016, OSS will be included in mission-critical software portfolios within 99% of Global 2000 enterprises, up from 75% in 2010.-- By 2014, 50% of Global 2000 organizations will experience technology, cost and security challenges through lack of open-source governance.
- This is the Google Android Architecture diagramRun time on virtual machine External components like webkit and SSLApplication developers and device manufacturer will innovate at different places in the architecture as indicated by the yellow dots.Device Manufactures will modify lower in the architectureThe issue is depending on what you change, and what license the component is licensed under will dictate a set of obligations.
- StrategyA strategy articulates the business objectives for using FOSSMost companies do not have a documented strategy. It’s an important tool for establishing consensus and communicating business rationale behind policies.Without a strategy, FOSS program is largely reactivePolicy & ProcessPolicy are the “rules” for using FOSSProcess is the way Policy is reliably realized on a day-to-day basisTechnology Automates the key processes for effective management and governance, allows organizations to “design in” compliance
