“You hear so many arguments defending the status quo.”

—Andrew Rodgers

 My Highlights

• Andrew’s answer to my favorite question is the pain-consumer distance and how the market isn’t self-regulating
• The difference between open ecosystems and open source
• How it all comes down to capabilities that are unlocked and personal preference
• Open vs. interoperable
• Where open source fits
• Walking up the stack from the edge and what open means at each level (hardware, BACnet, APIs, platforms)
• Why closed ecosystems won’t help us realize our future vision as an industry and how slime molds have it all figured out
• The VOLTTRON open ecosystem and how it innovation happens with that model
• How open-source can solve our workforce shortage
• Examples of other tech from other industries going from closed to open and how open source is free like puppies.
• How open is Niagara?
• The vision for VOLTTRON and how AceIOT deploys it for their clients
