The document discusses open source software and the Apache Software Foundation. It notes that open source is crucial for business and that Drupal is part of its success. It provides background on Jim Jagielski and his role in Apache. It outlines reasons why open source matters for hackers, businesses, and users, including innovation, cost savings, and avoiding vendor lock-in. It acknowledges risks like a desire for control but argues communities are important to resist forks and share code through collaboration.

Apache
The ASF: Apache Software Foundation
Started in 1995 as the Apache Group

Volunteer run foundation: non-profit
Hundreds of projects: started with 1 (httpd)

What is Open Source?
There must be an OSI-approved LICENSE
But there is really more than that required:
Community
Collaboration
Continuation of the hacker culture
AKA: FOSS (Free and Open Source Software)

5. Baltimore Drupal Camp 2015
Why is Apache Open Source?
Open Protocols require Open Source
People want to “own” those protocols
Remove incentive for custom implementations of those
protocols
Innovation: Developers == Users

6. Baltimore Drupal Camp 2015
Open Source: Hacker
Having a real impact in the development and direction of IT
Personal satisfaction: I wrote that!
Sense of membership in a community
Sense of accomplishment - very quick turnaround times
Developers and engineers love to tinker - huge opportunity
to do so

7. Baltimore Drupal Camp 2015
Open Source: Business
Having a real impact in the development and direction of IT
Sense of membership in a community (most of the time)
Save on expensive resources
Ability to focus on what differentiates yourself
Allows for nimbleness and agility
Increased revenue and market share

8. Baltimore Drupal Camp 2015
Open Source: Users
Access to the source code
Avoid vendor lock-in (or worse!)
Much better software
Better security record (more eyes)
Much more nimble development - frequent releases
Direct user input
Open Standards

9. Baltimore Drupal Camp 2015
Why does FOSS Matter?
Innovation
Power
Faster Success
Faster Fails
Neutrality

10. Baltimore Drupal Camp 2015
Open Source is Everywhere
!leveraging open source == ball & chain
Skill sets are in demand!
FOSS now well regarded (you can be proud of it)
Easy to show one’s code portfolio

11. Baltimore Drupal Camp 2015
But there’s risks
Desire for control stronger than ever!
The Cloud
Containers
Software patents
Even basic services (Email != Gmail)

12. Baltimore Drupal Camp 2015
But we need communities!
Resist one-off forks: merge and pull
Collaborate: make it easy
Consensus: the great goal
New blood: make it inviting/welcoming
Share the Good News!
