Think Tank Report On the State of Open Source

Posted by kdawson on from the looking-in-the-mirror dept.

AlexGr writes to recommend an account of a meeting a couple of months back of representatives from more than 100 software companies discussing the state of open source software. The outcome is outlined in a 16-page report, 2007 Open Source Think Tank: The Future of Commercial Open Source (PDF). Among the surprising conclusions: participants noted a growing similarity in methods between open source and proprietary software development. They predicted some kind of convergence, where the best of both approaches gets adopted in each camp.

    Until they can get their basic tactics right, they might as well ask what Leeroy Jenkins thinks about Open Source!
