Agenda

#OSSPARIS16

• Every company is becoming a software company and must now understand software in order to survive! (“software is eating the world”)

• Advances will come out of companies you don’t think of as tech: autos, airlines, medical etc...

Trend: Software is Eating the World

#OSSPARIS16

• “78% of companies are using open source… 63% are participating… ” (https://www.blackducksoftware.com/future-of-open-source)

#OSSPARIS16

• More services/things are being connected to to the internet and generating data that will help companies optimize their business:http://www.kpcb.com/blog/2016-internet-trends-report

• Cost to store data is getting much cheaper

Trend: Data Growth is Rising

#OSSPARIS16

• Software is a means to an end for internet/web scale companies– Google, Facebook, Netflix, Twitter, etc…

• Google: Kubernetes, Tensorflow• Facebook: OpenCompute, HHVM, OpenCellular• Twitter: Mesos/Aurora/Parquet/Heron• Netflix: NetflixOSS Suite (https://netflix.github.io/)

Trend: Web Scale Companies Open Up

#OSSPARIS16

• Over time, infrastructure has moved from single-vendor closed ecosystems to multiple cross-vendor open ecosystems

• Infrastructure is one example, happening in other areas too!

Trend: Closed to Open Ecosystems

#OSSPARIS16

• Companies are using open source aggressively to set industry direction...

• Open source is forcing companies to compete faster… see AI...

• AI and Automation will evolve fast over the next several years and affect everything

Trend: AI + Open Source Competition

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-21/google-sprints-ahead-in-ai-building-blocks-leaving-rivals-wary

#OSSPARIS16

• every company is re-imagining itself as a software company to evolve and survive

• theory: companies will become more like “internet/web scale” companies to adapt over time! (think Google, Facebook, Netflix)

What do these trends mean?

Rise of Open Source Programs

#OSSPARIS16

• Google: https://developers.google.com/open-source/– “…tasked with maintaining a healthy relationship with the open source software development community"

• Facebook: https://code.facebook.com/opensource– “…we’re keen users and publishers of open software. We'll keep you up-to-date with our new projects…”

Trend: Startups + OS Programs

#OSSPARIS16

https://microsoft.com/opensource‣ “Microsoft’s commitment to openness and collaboration

is ingrained… These collaborations have enabled new scenarios for customers and partners to take open source software and integrate it with a Microsoft platform.”

‣ http://todogroup.org/blog/why-we-run-an-open-source-program-microsoft/

...even Microsoft!

#OSSPARIS16

https://gds.blog.gov.uk/about/‣ “We now want to build on that work with a more

concerted approach to open source (and “inner source”), building collaboration and reuse internally and making higher impact contributions to the wider open source community.”

‣ https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/169669924

...even Governments!?

#OSSPARIS16

Companies are hiring executive open source leads...‣ “As VMware broadens its ecosystem from traditional

engagements in the data center space to areas such as software-defined networking and Cloud Native and mobile app technologies, we have been releasing more and more of our new offerings as open source software," said Ray O'Farrell, executive vice president and Chief Technology Officer, VMware. "Dirk brings a new level of leadership, best practices and creativity to help us drive these open source contributions and projects."

Trend: Chief Open Source Officers!?

#OSSPARIS16

The TODO Grouphttps://todogroup.org

#OSSPARIS16

• Many of us who ran open source program offices shared a private mailing list to commiserate…

• It was an avenue to discuss issues in private and even find ways to collaborate on open source projects…

• Focused on Silicon Valley companies initially• In 2014 we had an idea of scaling and opening up the the

community more…• Announced the TODO Group @Scale 2014 conference!

Origins of The TODO Group

#OSSPARIS16

• TODO Group is a group of companies who want to– collaborate on best practices on running open source program offices– share open source policies and training material– codify quality criteria for well-run open source projects and communities– build and share tools to maintain those quality standards

• As we scaled our open source programs, we realized we all built similar tools for the purposes of corporate scale open source…

• What is corporate scale open source?

What is the TODO Group?

#OSSPARIS16

• Corporate participants in open source have a number of unique concerns ranging from: – scale (i.e., Google and Microsoft have thousands of open source projects)– insights– cultural– legal / governance

• Companies doing open source generally want to be good community citizens, to be open and inclusive, to operate meritocracies. They also need to run a business and be aware of responsibilities to their employees, shareholders and the broader community.

Corporate Scale Open Source

#OSSPARIS16

• GitHub has won for now wasn’t designed for corporate large scale open source so there are considerable feature gaps… the TODO Group is helping identify and fill those gaps (i.e., multiple org management, CLAs, community metrics)

• We also work with GitHub as a “product council” to help improve their platform that we continued to depend on (e.g., improved org management and required commit status features)

#OSSPARIS16

• To establish the TODO Group as a legitimate legal entity, we partnered with the Linux Foundation to make the TODO Group an official collaborative project!

• The LF helps with legal paperwork, running events and gives the TODO Group access to its 650+ members

TODO Group + Linux Foundation

#OSSPARIS16

• 50+ open source “collaborative projects” / 650+ members spanning various industries • The LF helps build neutral collaborative ecosystems; foundation in a box; runs events

Why Linux Foundation?

#OSSPARIS16

•• What is an ecosystem A rich developer

community whose code is productized in commercial products that profit businesses who in turn reinvest back into the projects

• Organizations that don’t harvest this shared innovation will be unable to compete: they will be late to market, waste R&D funds, and unable to innovate alone.

Conclusion / Q&A

#OSSPARIS16

• Open source will continue to eat new industries (i.e., world)– You will see more open source foundations around industries/problem areas

• OpenAI, OpenCelluar

• Every company will become a software company– They will also act more like internet-scale companies like Google, Facebook etc..– They will establish open source programs and hire open source leads

• Contribution brings influence and is the currency in open source… contribute or lose relevancy!
