CPOSC 2013: 15 Years of Open Source - It's About the PeopleRussell Pavlicek
Russell Pavlicek has been involved in open source since 1995. In this talk, he reflects on how open source has changed in the past 15 years as it has grown from a grassroots movement to a mainstream part of the software industry. He worries that as open source becomes more commercialized and many people are paid to work on it, the passion and spirit that drove the early movement may be lost. He urges open source advocates, especially those who have been in the community for a long time, to teach others about open source's history and values to ensure its roots and heart remain strong.

What’s Driving Open Source (for MyGOSSCon)Simon Phipps
This document discusses the key drivers of open source software in 2012, including the evolution of licensing, the role of foundations, the impact of software patents, growth in cloud computing and big data, and increasing government adoption. It outlines how these factors are changing licensing approaches, governance structures, and business models, and driving greater acceptance of open source. The presentation concludes by encouraging participation in the Open Source Initiative to help guide the continued evolution of the open source movement.
- Open source is more than just free software - it enables innovation and collaboration through software freedom and leaving users in control.
- To know if software is truly open source, you should check for an open source license that grants users permission to use, modify, share and improve the software without restrictions.
- Open source is valuable because it allows users to start from others' work, stay in control of their resources, share maintenance costs, and influence global ecosystems through collaboration.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features

3. So What?
By focusing on raising funds,
a project can increase its' chances
of survival
4. Why me?
Freedom is not free!
(How many ways can you relate?)
5. Why now?
● Declining interest in FLOSS
● Lack of unity, more division
● FLOSS success is taken for granted
● Increased willingness to compromise
● Lingering confusion surrounding free software
6. Disclaimer
I'm not pretending to tell anyone what to do,
I'm sharing my interpretation.
My story.
(Your mileage may vary...)
7. So far...
● Funding Free Culture:
● Blog: FundingFreeCulture.MisTribus.com
● blog.financingfreedom.com
● @ffc_2012
● Tumblr: FundingFreeCulture.Tumblr.com
● One Blogger post triggers:
● 3 Automated tweets on 3 different accounts
● Updated Linked In
● Updated Finding Free Culture Page on Facebook
9. Free Culture Assumptions
● Free culture projects often fail
● People assume FLOSS's success is
guaranteed
● Division makes free culture weaker
10. State of FLOSS?
● Four stages of Maturity:
● Emergent
● Growth
● Mature
● Declining
● Projects in emergent, growth, & maturity stages
11. State of FLOSS is mixed
● Enterprise recognition
● Limited user recognition/support
● Participation is declining
● Finances (resources) are limited (often to just
one person)
