eCENTER: EuroOSCON - Open Souce 2.0

Open Source 2.0: Tim O'Reilly



Very good and interesting presention of Tim O'Reilly. Disturbing in a way, because he is already two steps ahead.

Some notes:

• The 5 characteristics of Open Source 2.0:


1. architectures of participation beyond software development (web 2.0)


2. open source licenses are obsolete


• software is rather performed than distributed


• not just source code, but also data/database


3. asymmetric competition


• craiglist, top sites on internet 2005 – rank 7, with 18 employees


4. operations as advantage


• “in the future, being on someone's platform will mean being hosted on their infrastructure”


• pay more attention to open source tools that support scalable operations


5. open data


• mashups are based on open data ; who is owning these data?


• creative commons


• the new face of open source


• = framework


• = clonable web apps


• = mashups, web services


• we don't yet know


• what the platform of the future will look like


• what the sources of lock-in and competitive advantage will be


• think ahead, don't think back
