"Open source is no longer considered the wild underdog, but it will need more new companies making money off the trend" said Marten Mickos, the former CEO of MySQL stressed at the EclipseCon 2010 conference. With the new wave of Open Source movement, AgileSource is already build it's business model based on Open Source , it had been at the forefront of that movement.

Who’s Making Money From Open Source in the Cloud?

posted Apr 1, 2010 3:17 AM by Target Source   [ updated Apr 1, 2010 3:27 AM ]

At this morning’s Bunker Session, the central question of the relationship between cloud computing and open-source software was answered early and often. The one thing everybody agreed upon is that most clouds of any appreciable scale are built on open-source software and, in fact, might not even exist without it. As to whether there’s any money to be made with open source, however, there was enough contention to go around.

The rub, as posited by Citrix’s Simon Crosby, is that everybody making money with open source actually has a proprietary angle. Open source is a great tool for advancing products, branding a company and expanding its reach, but vendors make their money with proprietary solutions. This holds true for companies ranging from Citrix with XenServer to Amazon with EC2. The numbers actually back up this proposition: Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, pointed out that the leading open-source investors aren’t VCs, but large IT companies like IBM, Intel and Google. Investment in open-source projects helps these companies crowdsource R&D — which saves time and money — before rolling out a commercial offering based on the results. This isn’t an indictment of vendors’ use of open source, by the way, it’s just reality –- not to mention smart business.

However, as Om pointed out from the crowd, there is a big difference between helping vendors make money and actually making money yourself. Save for Red Hat, most truly open-source companies don’t last too long before they’re snatched up by proprietary vendors that want to leverage the associated momentum and product capabilities in their own businesses. But the definition of success isn’t universal. SugarCRM CEO Larry Augustin countered this argument with the position that open-source companies like JBoss and SpringSource, which did great things and built huge communities, are no less successful because they exited via acquisition rather than IPO.

Despite debate over what constitutes a viable open-source business model, the area from where we can expect to see one emerge is cloud computing. As I discussed recently in a GigaOM Pro column (sub. req’d), open-source products are building momentum in private-cloud settings especially, and the reason might be that they help users achieve the same efficiencies as large IT companies that invest in open-source projects.

Another possible avenue for open source success in the cloud is interoperability. When Yahoo’s Tom Hughes Croucher asked the Bunker crowd what the most likely solution to lack of interoperability among public clouds is, open source won by a landslide over vendor-developed standards. Opscodes’s Jesse Robbins buttressed this opinion by pointing out that many concerns over cloud interoperability and application portability can be addressed in the planning stages and by utilizing automation capabilities from companies likeRightScale. Another possibility is to use an open-source interface like libcloud, which simplifies movement between clouds.

Where the money comes into play is when CIOs demand these types of capabilities before moving to cloud delivery models. As Accenture’s Joe Tobolski noted, they want to leverage the cloud, but they want to know there’s a workable Plan B and Plan C in case the primary cloud provider goes down. Cloud platforms don’t necessarily need to be open source if they’re open enough to work with third-party managements solutions. If an open-source company can build a cross-cloud automation product that lets businesses tweak it to suit their specific needs, that company might find itself in a position like Red Hat did when users were searching for a viable alternative to Windows.

Android: fragmentation is innovation, bit it could kill you

posted Mar 30, 2010 7:01 AM by Target Source

Every time open source is in play, the risk of fragmentation is visible. If the code is out there and every hacker in the world has access to it, what prevents a fork? What prevents the original code to have 50 variations?

Nothing prevents it. It happens. But it happens less often than you might think.

First of all, most of the forks die. If there is a company behind a project, they die faster. Not because the fork is bad. It is just that the volume of development is so significant, the original developers stay with the main branch and the brand is attached to the original code (open source commercial projects protect the brand through trademark, so there is very little a fork can do to claim they are the original).

Forks ultimately die because they do not get enough traction, the developers get depressed, the fork gets stale. It is a vicious negative spiral.

If a few fork survive, the result - in most cases - is innovation. "Fragmentation is innovation", as 
Sean Moss-Pultzonce said. I know many people out there believe the opposite, but think about it: if a fork includes smart ideas, and the open source license requires the code to be visible to the public, would you not expect the original project to embed them over time? Yes, me too.

Sometimes, the original project gets stale, there is no innovation, developers get bored, and they fork. Therefore, innovating. The developers of the original project wake up, improve their code, absorb some of the changes in the forks, and regain control. The result: a better product. More innovation. Nothing bad, something actually very good.

Now, let's look at Android. Any real forks out there? Yes, one from China Mobile. It might get actually successful, and I am sure the Google people are pissed at it. But it could generate a lot of good ideas, that they can embed in their project (assuming the not-invented-here mentality does not pervade the Google campus ;-) Overall, I do not believe it will be a major problem for Google.

It is China Mobile that has a problem: they need to keep the new OS compatible to the Android main branch. If they don't, all apps that are developed for Android will not work on their phone. The final result in my opinion? They won't make it. It is too difficult. They will create a China-only operating system, used by Chinese people, with apps developed by Chinese developers for the domestic market only. A missed opportunity for developers (although that market is big...). A sign of China refusing globalization and fighting Google and the US as a whole. A losing proposition, but nothing that would kill Android in the rest of the world, actually only hurting Chinese developers trying to export their good stuff.

So, is there a real problem with Android? Yes, but it is internal. The real fragmentation, so far, has been created by Google itself. They have released way too many operating system version, too fast. 1.x is not compatible with 2.x, in most cases. So much that our community client was built on 1.x, but for our commercial product we chose only 2.x. The effort of supporting two different clients was too much (hint: if you have an Android 2.x, check the Android Market for Funambol. It is an amazing client).

Was Google wrong at releasing so fast so often? I believe not. I believe they have been right. At the beginning of the cycle, you need to move fast, catching up with the competition. When the product is mature (they are almost there), you can start to slow down. In a year, nobody will remember Android 1.x or the G1 (a.k.a. the garage door opener).

Now it is time for Android to slow down. The next two Android releases, Froyo and Gingerbread (yep, what were you expecting after Cupcakes, Donuts, and Eclairs?), are going to be way more backward compatible than the initial ones. I am very sure about it. Most likely, they will change very little of the core or SDK, moving their apps on the Market (Maps, Gmail, Talk, Voice, Goggles, Gesture Search and so on) and making sure they work across all versions.

Google can afford external fragmentation (which is innovation), but not internal fragmentation (which is suicide). They know it.

Future of Open Source 2010

posted Mar 29, 2010 1:22 AM by Target Source

North Bridge and 24 Open Source Leaders Announce 2010 ‘Future of Open Source’ Annual Survey Results at Computerworld’s OSBC
 
Market growth reaches tipping point, driven by adoption in government, rapid innovation, and the impact of SaaS and cloud computing strategies  
 
Open Source Business Conference, SAN FRANCISCO, CA – March 17, 2010 –– Today at Computerworld’s Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), a panel of top experts in the commercial open source industry, including executives from Acquia, Black Duck, North Bridge Venture Partners, Red Hat, and SugarCRM, announced the results of the North Bridge Venture Partners' annual ‘Future of Open Source’ survey. The survey results, collected from over 550 respondents including both vendors and non-vendors, highlight a range of significant issues continuing to impact the open source software landscape. Economic conditions, key market drivers and forecast for the coming year are among the topics taking center stage. The session will also gather real-time feedback from attendees via live text votes throughout the panel. 
 
“This year we opened up our survey to an even broader range of industry collaborators and a record number of participants including both vendors and non-vendors, and it’s clear that open source innovation is driving opportunities across all levels of the ecosystem,” said Michael Skok, General Partner at North Bridge Venture Partners. “Vendors are taking advantage of it and end-users are reaping the benefits. It’s a win-win and both industry players and open source communities are thriving as a result.”
 
Following are some of the key findings from the survey:
 
The survey found that economic and competitive factors continue to drive open source adoption. 
  • Approximately 95% of respondents said a turbulent economy is “good” for OSS
  • As in prior years, respondents indicated that lower total cost of ownership and freedom from vendor lock-in are key drivers. In addition, this year the rapid pace of innovation is highlighted among the top three reasons OSS is attractive to businesses. 
“We believe these factors are important to organizations who seek a competitive advantage. Communities are uniquely able to adapt the source openly and rapidly to meet changing needs,” said Skok.
 
"The open source development model provides an accelerator of innovation and distribution, disrupting the old proprietary business models,” said Dries Buytaert, creator of Drupal and CTO and co-founder of Acquia.
 
The survey also revealed that government/public sector validation is the leading “tipping point” driving adoption of open source software this year.
 
“For Drupal, the platform’s use for Whitehouse.gov has raised the level of awareness not only within government agencies around the world, but among private organizations as well,” continued Buytaert. “With the support of open source companies, we’re sure to see OSS continue its march into both the enterprise and public sectors."
 
The survey also revealed barriers to open source adoption.
 
  • Respondents listed unfamiliarity with open source solutions, lack of internal technical skills, and lack of formal commercial vendor support as the top three barriers to the selection of open source software. 
  • As a result the survey also revealed that the business strategies predicted to create the most value for open source vendors include subscription based technical support and professional services and consulting. 
"Much of the uncertainty that limited wide-scale open source adoption has evaporated as IT shops, constrained by tight budgets, are using more OSS to improve the efficiency and flexibility of the development process and realizing tremendous cost and time savings, said Tim Yeaton, President and CEO, Black Duck Software. Lingering concerns about OSS use in many Enterprise IT shops remain, but that's natural and is diminishing rapidly as familiarity and the tools for managing OSS improve."
 
Overall the survey underscored the continued momentum of open source. 
  • 55% of respondents believe that more than half of their purchases will be open source in the next 5 years.
  • "Open source has moved into mainstream as people’s understanding and skills around it have matured. The question is no longer about proprietary vs. open source; it is how can open source be used across all tiers of the software stack.” Larry Augustin, CEO, SugarCRM 
The reduction of venture funding in open source in 2009 in publicly disclosed funding deals down 37% to $375, as cited by The 451 Group, also highlighted the impact new platforms have on open source vendors. The result is a reevaluation of business models, with vendors seeking new market strategies. 
  • Over 75% of respondents indicated that either software-as-a-service and/or cloud computing will have the greatest impact on open source vendors 
 “As validated by survey respondents, cloud computing is one of the most significant advancements in IT today,” said Jim Whitehurst, president and CEO, Red Hat. “We believe that open source is a natural foundation for the cloud and is a great enabler of the expanded flexibility, scalability and cost savings IT organizations are expecting by moving to the cloud.”  
  • The survey also highlighted WCM/CMS/social software as the sectors expected to be most susceptible to disruption by open source software in the next five years, moving ahead of traditional areas such as operating systems and databases. 
Overall the survey found that from the community to customers to vendors, market growth is expected at all levels. 
 
“In our view it’s a winning situation all around,” said Skok. “Customers want vendors to provide better visibility into new open source projects along with commercial support and services.  That in turn is beneficial to  the development communities behind those projects as they see greater adoption.”
 
Skok continued, “While we are as discerning as ever of our investments, those vendors that evolve to take advantage of shifts like cloud computing and look to provide leverage in their business model with things like electronic services can expect to attract funding from us. As proof of that we have already reinvested in Acquia’s continued rapid growth and closed three new deals in open source in 2009, including Akiban Technologies, Northscale and REvolution Computing.” 
 
The 2010 Future of Open Source survey was developed collaboratively by North Bridge with input from 24 collaborators  including Akiban Technologies, Olliance Group, Jaspersoft, Microsoft, Red Hat, Sand Hill.com, and the 451 Group, many of whom have contributed their views and vision to the Future of Open Source Forum.  To see the full survey results visit: tinyurl.com/FOOSSurvey2010 and to view the Forum visit http://futureofopensource.drupalgardens.com/welcome-future-open-source-forum.

Visualizing Open Source Business Models

22 March 2010 By Stephen Walli

Matt Aslett gave a great talk about the evolution of open source business strategies last week at the Open Source Business Conference in San Francisco. In it, he presented a model to allow one to visualize businesses that use open source in their solutions, and what it means in terms of relationships with customers and the community.

Slide of Model from presentation

The community relationships are driven by the lower triangle:

Matt goes on to apply the model across a collection of companies and business models, visually demonstrating how different companies have made different choices and evolved those choices, as well as playing out a number of scenarios. It's an excellent model.

Matt and I have debated in the past as to whether or not there is such a thing as an open source business model. I've argued there's no such business model, but discuss it as a set of tools that are applied to the business. Regardless of one's opinions however, Matt has provided an excellent visual model for the discussion and presentation of the ideas. It works in much the same way as the Business Model Design template in visually capturing the information to ensure a completeness of discussion and an understanding of how the parts relate. I'm looking forward to the continuing evolution of the model over the coming year as he prepares the next major open source business report from the 451 Group, and would encourage you to give the entire presentation a read.

Will all OpenSource company be acquired

posted Dec 20, 2009 8:23 AM by Target Source

Paula Rooney From ZDNET, 12, Aug, 2009

Add SpringSource to the expanding list of independent open source companies that have been gobbled up by proprietary software giants.

Let’s consider the growing list: IBM’s purchase of Gluecode, Novell’s purchase of SUSE, Citrix’s XenSource deal, Nokia’s Trolltech buy, Sun’s purchase of MySQL, Oracle’s purchase of Sun (and hence MySQL and OpenOffice) and now VMware’s planned $420 million acquisition of SpringSource.

Is this what the founding open source developers envisioned?

Doubt it, but fewer open source backers are opposed to such mergers as the use of open source software expands in the corporate sector and mixed hybrid software stacks are growing up in the data center.

Open source is not toppling the ranks of proprietary software giants (yet) but the quiet revolution is taking place: the model of free and open software development has reduced vendor lock-in and is delivering enormous benefits to developers and customers, observers maintain. The acquisiton trend simply reflects this notion: industry titans can’t beat it so they’re joining open source, observers also maintain.

“I expect VMware will continue to invest and grow the platform and that bodes well for open source. I hope they realize that part of the value is the large number of people building on the platform for free,” said Larry Augustin, president and CEO of SugarCRM, a large open source CRM vendor. “VMware doesn’t have a long history in open source but this is a big bold step for them and I’m keeping my fingers crossed.”

“They did some contributions to the kernel and and made a free version of the hypervisor available but not in open source. This is their first big open source step and shows the value of these open source companies and platforms. ”

Some open source players question Oracle’s acquisiton of Sun but think the VMware-SpringSource marriage is a healthy one.

Open source is “a great production and distribution model, the latter being more important, that creates some truly enterprise-class products that customers need.   For software developers this is especially true, since they want unfettered access to products to try them and understand how they work without needing to engage in a lot of commercial activity, which they find to be a distasteful time sink,” said Jeff Hartley, VP of Products and Marketing (correction) of Terracotta, which develops open source clustering software for Java and partners with both VMware and SpringSource.

“With our software, you can look at the code if you really want to know how it works, and you can suggest improvements or become a committer and help make future products. This point about distribution is perhaps just one reason why VMware and SpringSource make sense together, with Spring as an open source provider,” Hartley said. “As VMware builds its portfolio of products to make enterprise software easier to build and manage, it needs to connect up the stack with developers. SpringSource has certainly done a good job of that and is a big help in high regard in the developer community and have fantastic adoption.”

Once upon a time, corporate behemoths like Microsoft, Sun and VMware were considered the greedy proprietary vendors that open source startups would one day replace. Yes?

But that’s not panning out. Open source has gained credibility but the industry has yet to spawn another billion-dollar baby.  So what shifted?

A realization that the open source business model may not be working as well as the open source development model? Or another aspect of open source’s bottom up success?

OpenBravo’s CTO recently said such deals are inevitable as proprietary giants infuse needed revenue into aspiring open source companies whose download count vastly exceeds their revenue.

Some think such marriages are ideal because they generate vendors with a healthy mix of  proprietary and open source software. This prevents lockin while ensuring commercial provders enjoy a profit.

But will all successful open source companies end up in the clutches of proprietary software titans?

Have IBM, Novell, Sun, Citrix, Oracle and VMware thrown in the towel and see open source as the inevitable future? Or are they simply gobbling up the competition to protect their revenue streams for as long as possible, or making strategic buys to counter their rivals’ open source acquisitions?

I question this each time one of these deals are announced. Call me a cynic. But one has to wonder about the viability of the open source business model if all of the top open source dogs are acquired by traditional software vendors.

OSS Market Accelerated by Eco

posted Dec 20, 2009 8:22 AM by Target Source

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A recent IDC study reveals that worldwide revenue from open source software (OSS) will grow at a 22.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach $8.1 billion by 2013. This forecast is considerably higher than 2008 for three reasons: (1) the bottom-up list used to calculate the revenue has expanded through an exhaustive effort to include more projects in this forecast; (2) open source software has had a much higher level of acceptance over the past 12 months than previously expected, and; (3) the economy accelerated the uptake and use of open source software in the closing months of 2008.

"The open source software market has seen a strong boost from the current economic crisis," said Michael Fauscette, group vice president, Software Business Solutions. "OSS is increasingly a part of the enterprise software strategy of leading businesses and is seeing mainstream adoption at a strong pace. As the overall software industry continues to consolidate, it will be key for OSS vendors to reach scale if they plan to continue as a standalone business."

Additional key findings include:

  • Large software vendors like IBM, Sun, Dell, HP, and Oracle are making significant amounts of indirect revenue from their activities with and support of OSS. This has greatly aided mainstream adoption and acceptance of OSS.
  • Hybrid business models seem to be increasing. It is likely that this will end up as the most prevalent business model, with on-premise vendors adding SaaS, SaaS vendors offering on premise, OSS vendors selling variants, and closed source vendors offering more OSS.
  • The opportunity to leverage OSS in ways that increase competitive advantage, such as a part of BPO offerings or as a part of a software appliance, is on the rise and should help increase adoption and growth for OSS vendors.
This IDC study, Worldwide Open Source Software 2009–2013 Forecast (IDC #219260) provides a new forecast for the open source software market as a bottom-up sizing of the OSS market in 2008 and a 2009–2013 forecast. Historical and forecast revenue data is shown for the total worldwide marke
