Over a decade ago, Marc Andreessen said that software was eating the world and today we could easily say that open source is eating the software world. It’s widely adopted and deployed and has become a key element of the IT landscape. The last year has seen some players shifting their approaches to the market, but have these affected the fundamental values of the open source community? Dr. Thomas Di Giacomo, Chief Technical and Product Officer at SUSE and Cloud Native Computing Foundation board member, joins host Eric Hanselman at the SUSECON conference to talk about some of the dynamics of the open source market. Enterprises are leveraging open source to reduce risk in experimentation and tapping into the innovations that are coming out of the open source community. It’s not always a simple path, but it’s one that more are finding attractive, particularly in light of upheavals in the proprietary markets.
