The National Observatory for Open Source Software (ONSFA) is the centre of excellence for the analysis and monitoring of free open source software in Spain. The Observatory is also a meeting point and a place for dialogue, where the most important agents in open source software can share knowledge and ideas.
In 2011, the ONSFA has launched a Survey on Open Source Software in the Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector. 1.932 companies have completed the questionnaire and the margin of error is ±2.2% with a 95% confidence interval.
The aim of this research is to gain information about the characteristics of companies in the Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector related to Open Source Software: number of companies providing OSS services, OSS business model, OSS turnover, OSS products and services, OSS customers, OSS employment, training and certification, as well as subjective information: benefits and perceived barriers, technological trends and future forecasts.
Ericsson’s perspective on the net neutrality debateEricsson
We support an internet that allows and encourages innovation, investment and customization. Every internet user is unique in terms of what they value: the content; the price they are willing to pay for the delivery of that content; and the QoS level they prefer for that delivery. Consumers should have access to the information they need to make informed choices.
Keeping the net open for innovation is critical to ensuring continued investment in all parts of the internet value chain. At Ericsson, we believe broadband providers, device manufacturers, consumers, enterprises and content providers all benefit from an internet that is open to experimentation, differentiation and innovation.
With this in mind, we offer the following thoughts, backed up by real-world scenarios and technological realities. Our report aims to help guide policy makers as they grapple with the often competing demands of various players in the internet value chain.

What has been done and what is still missing
In the last 20 years italian Public Administrations (PAs) have introduced many different rules, norms and regulations concerning adoption of free software in PAs.
Specific legislation was proposed and/or introduced at the national and regional levels.
Many local PAs have adopted rules and regulations on the subject.
We review and comment critically the present situation.
As a lobbyist at the European Parliament at the ITRE committee I contribute with draft proposals.
Abstract: In this paper I discuss how the ITRE committee and the Commissions Directorate General for Enterprise and Industry can develop its work towards the software industry in order to achieve a high usability of these companies software and how software companies that rely on IP-rights can be helped by crowd sourcing if their IP-rights are protected. And if EU has a clear legal framework that protects software company’s IP-rights when they use crowd sourcing as a work method, it can develop into a competitive advantage against other parts of the world.

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.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

About CENATIC
3. Survey on Open Source Software in the
Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector. 2011
1. Analysis and assessment
Open source software is unquestionably the spearhead for a broader model that prioritises and promotes a
commitment to transparency, independence, collaboration and the rationalisation of resources. For a number of
years now, open source software has formed part of the reality of companies, not just of those that use
technology, but also for those that regularly supply technological solutions to third parties.
The results show the software services subsector as one of the strongest amongst the Spanish technological
sector companies . 39% of companies in the Computer and related activities sector are not only aware of open
source solutions, but also have already incorporated them as an essential part of the products and services they
provide, with open source technologies responsible for 17% of their turnover. This percentage demonstrates the
current coexistence of open source and private solutions in the goods and services that companies offer their
clients to meet their technological demands.
The increasingly greater presence of open source technologies in companies using ICT services makes it
possible to forecast future growth in services based on open source technologies. In fact, international sources
such as the Gartner consulting firm indicate that the percentage of corporate budgets earmarked for contracting
open source software services is greater than 30%. In Spain, the latest information published by the National
Institute of Statistics (INE) shows that 75% of SMEs and large companies and 51% of microenterprises are
already using open source technologies.
4. Survey on Open Source Software in the
Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector. 2011
While not disparaging the importance of public tenders and their role as a driving force, the survey shows that
most of the turnover for companies that market products and services based on open source software comes
from clients in the private sector (80%). This figure confirms the consolidation of the offering and contradicts the
common conception of a sector supported by the public administrations.
With regard to employment figures, the fact that 17% of jobs in the Computer and related activities sector sector
are related to open source software projects shows the importance of open source software in creating
employment. The service-oriented approach inherent to open source software, together with the cost savings for
items such as licenses, makes it possible for budgets to be focused on human resources.
However, the low level of certification in the subsector stands out; although it corresponds to the scarce client
demand for certified personnel, it fails to match the intense effort made by companies to train personnel. The low
demand for certified professionals may be due to a lack of awareness on the part of clients regarding professional
certification programmes based on open source software.
As regards marketing, the survey reflects the interest of subsector companies in marketing products under open
source licenses. More than half of the companies market their own solutions. However, it also shows that their
partner networks for marketing are underdeveloped. The fact that only one out of every five companies that
markets open source solutions has made an effort to create a distribution network does not fit in with the
collaborative model associated with open source software. The scarcity of networks may be due to a lack of
familiarity with collaborative models or difficulties experienced by companies in order to create true communities
that facilitate the distribution and evolution of their solutions.
5. Survey on Open Source Software in the
Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector. 2011
However, the power of the business models associated with open source technologies lies in attaining the
collaboration, preferably distributed, of other programmers and companies in achieving a common solution.
Spanish companies have new opportunities for growth, developing these collaborative models and participating in
third-party networks, which would also facilitate the internationalisation of their products and services and aid
them in the current crisis of the shrinking domestic market.
The future of open source software seems promising in light of the survey results. Companies value the objective
advantages that it provides, especially with regard to cost reduction and the wide availability of solutions. These
advantages will continue in the future to differentiate both open source software and companies that offer open
source products and services. This assessment is in line with the fact that one out of every five companies not
marketing open source products and services today plans to offer them to their clients in the future, and with the
increased loyalty shown to those companies that are already doing so.
However, technology trends pose a new challenge for open source software. Both cloud environments and social
software are trends that will be consolidated over the next few years. And by providing services remotely, the role
and advantages of open source software will remain hidden from the client.
Without waiting for effects like supplier dependence and the lack of transparency of private software to become
evident in the aforementioned areas, open source software companies, and even those who approach it from
more theoretical perspectives, should work to showcase the advantages of open source software, even in these
environments, where it is sure to be consolidated in the near future.

7. Survey on Open Source Software in the
Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector. 2011
3. 21% of the companies that market open source software have partnership agreements with another open
source software company, having specialised in providing services and support for a particular open source
product.
4. One out of five companies that have developed or maintain their own
open source software product has a network of partners who act as
suppliers and/or retailers of professional services for the product they own.
The same proportion of these companies maintains a support community for
this product.
1. Of the group of companies that have collaborated in this study, representing the Computer and related activities
sector as a whole, 40% report having marketed at least one product under an open source software license or
having provided services related to this technology in 2011.
2. The activity in which these companies engaged the most is technology consulting services related to open source
software (84%), followed by systems consulting (67%). It should be pointed out that over half of the companies
(57%) that have marketed open source technologies report having developed or maintained a product with their own
software, which they distribute with an open source software license and based on which they provide services.
8. Survey on Open Source Software in the
Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector. 2011
5. The most common services offered in relation to open source software are IT consulting (82%), computer
programming (79%), web portal services (73%) and other IT and computing services (67%).
6. 15% of the companies surveyed as part of this study reported that their commercial offering includes at least
one solution released by a Public Administration.
7. 12% of the Computer and related activities sector companies exclusively sold products based on open source
technologies in 2010.
8. An analysis of the turnover derived from the sale of open source services by sales
volume reveals that in 2010, 21% of microenterprises invoiced between €50,000 and
€99,000 for open source product sales, 19% had a turnover of between €10,000 and
€24,999, 16% sold between €25,000 and €49,999 and 11% had figures in the range of
€100,000 to €199,000. The same percentage of companies (11%) invoiced less than
€5,000, 10% had sales in the range of €5,000 to €9,999 and finally, 9% of
microenterprises invoiced between €200,000 and €999,000.
9. Survey on Open Source Software in the
Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector. 2011
9. For companies with more than 10 employees, in 2010, nearly 48% invoiced between €200,000 and €999,000 for
the sale of OSS products, 18% of the companies invoiced more than €1,000,000, 14% had sales in the range of
€100,000 and €199,000 and 9% had figures between €50,000 and €99,000.
10. The public sector is the main client of these companies, generating 20% of the turnover derived from the sale of
open source solution services. This is followed by the service, tourism and transport sector, which generates 16% of
the sector turnover; the industry and construction sector (15%) and the commercial sector (14.6%).
11. Among the 10 open source software technologies that were most marketed by Computer and related activities
sector companies in 2010 were database management systems, server operating systems and web servers, which
were marketed by 4 out of every 10 companies; and portal servers, application servers, e-commerce applications,
web browsers, file servers, CRM systems and email servers, which were marketed by 3 of every 10 companies.
12. In terms of human resources, companies marketing open source software
products and/or services had an average of 23 employees on their staff in 2010,
of whom 8 were women and 15 were men.
10. Survey on Open Source Software in the
Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector. 2011
13. Of the total staff at these companies, an average of 69% of the human resources were involved in the development
and provision of services based on open source software in 2010.
14. 44% of the employees participating in OSS projects were programmers, 33% had administrative and management
functions within the OSS services provided and 29% worked as analysts.
15. Approximately half of the companies (52%) provided training in open source software for their employees. Among
companies with training activities, these were available to, on average, half of all staff members.
16. Of all the companies analysed, in 2010, only 17% had certified personnel in
any type of open source software. The most common certification was that issued
by Linux Professional Institute.
17. The demand for certified personnel is low, given that in 2010, only 7% of
companies reported that one of their clients requested some type of certification
for their employees.
11. Survey on Open Source Software in the
Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector. 2011
18. The technology trends considered most relevant and important for companies today - cloud computing, mobility,
virtualisation and social software - are clearly the areas of greatest interest. The companies that marketed or
provided services related to open source solutions in 2010 are clearly those most interested in cloud computing and
social software.
19. Companies that have marketed open source technologies value open source software first of all for the lower
cost associated with it in order to access technology, knowledge and innovation. Secondly, they are of the opinion
that open source software today is a real, mature, competitive and reliable technological alternative. Thirdly, they
state that there is a wide variety of open source solutions available to offer to clients.
20. Among companies that do not market OSS, there is also a high level of
agreement concerning the low cost of access to technology involved with OSS;
however, the opinion with the second greatest consensus is the fact that in the
sector developing customised products for clients, open source models have
promoted a reduction in costs through unique concepts, such as reuse. The third
most highly rated opinion is that today it represents a real, mature, competitive
and reliable technological alternative.
12. Survey on Open Source Software in the
Spanish Computer and Related Activities Sector. 2011
21. With regard to factors that make it more difficult for clients to adopt open source software, both types of
companies (those that market open source software, and those that do not) agree that the main barrier to the
adoption of open source technologies is the lack of awareness of solutions and the lack of references for open
source software products. The factor with the second greatest consensus among companies that have marketed
OSS is precisely the lack of knowledge on the part of potential clients regarding the existence of companies
providing technical support for open source products. This fact is the third most important factor for companies that
do not market open source software, which identify the second most important barrier as being the problems that
might accompany migration from proprietary programs; this same factor occupies third place for companies that
have marketed OSS.
22. Finally, with regard to forecasts, 86% of the companies that currently market products or services based on
open source software state that in the medium term (the next five years), they will continue to work with this type of
software.
23. Meanwhile, 20% of the companies that currently do not market open source
solutions plan to start working with this software in order to be able to offer it to
their clients.
