Keynotes
Building Billion Dollar Businesses with Open Source and Open Communities
04/05/2005, 09:30 AM - 10:15 AM
/ Jonathan Schwartz
President & COO, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
A prominent industry executive once equated open source with communism. Jonathan Schwartz, the President and COO of Sun Microsystems, the largest contributor of open source code on the planet, will demonstrate that nothing is further from the truth. The best method for building highly-competitive and successful businesses, and for developing independent and self-sustaining economies, is through open source, open standards and open communities. Rather than inefficient centralized systems the result is user choice, widespread compatibility, innovative new technologies, an explosion of network services, and massively profitable businesses.
The Next Wave of Open Source: Applications
04/05/2005, 10:15 AM - 11:00 AM
/ Larry Augustin
CEO, Medsphere Systems Corporation.
First we made games, and they said, "Of course people will make games for free. But they won't make anything serious and give it away." Then we made compilers and developer tools, and they said, "Of course they will make developer tools. They're developers. But they won't make anything serious, like an operating system." So, we made an operating system, and they said, "Of course they made an operating system. They studied Unix in school. But they'll never make applications." Guess what we're making now? Applications. The next wave of open source is here. In this talk, Larry will talk about the coming wave of open source applications.
Open Source in the Enterprise: Coping with Commodities in the New IT Marketplace
04/05/2005, 02:00 PM - 02:50 PM
/ Kim Polese
CEO, SpikeSource.
Kim Polese, the CEO of SpikeSource, will talk about the power and potential of open source software as an enterprise offering and how this is re-molding the technology industry from the ground up. She will outline how open source is driving the commoditization of technology, the impact this will have on the industry and new opportunities for vendors and customers in this new IT marketplace.
Open Source Has Crossed the Chasm -- Now What?
04/05/2005, 04:45 PM - 06:00 PM
/ Geoffrey Moore
Author, Crossing the Chasm, The Chasm Group.
Open Source has established itself as a permanent feature of the high-tech landscape. This in itself is a remarkable achievement. But now we need to look forward to understand what trajectory it is on, and where might it go next, for good or ill? In particular, as its first of wave of innovation plays out, what forms of innovation will sustain its engine? And what demands from the marketplace is it most suited to meet? Geoff Moore, author, consultant, and venture capitalist, will outline several possible futures for the movement and talk about their potential impact on the technology sector.
Innovation in an On Demand World: The Future of IT
04/06/2005, 09:00 AM - 09:45 AM
/ Irving Wladawsky-Berger
Vice President, Strategy and Innovation, IBM.
Innovation has always been the motive force for economic growth and the evolution of civilization, from the agricultural age through the industrial revolution to our globalizing economy. Why such heightened attention to innovation, particularly collaborative innovation, now? Three profound revolutions are underway: A digital revolution, led by continuing advances in IT; an Internet revolution, born of open standards; and a business process revolution, a product of the first two. Each alone is a powerful force, but they are converging like weather fronts, creating the conditions for a “perfect storm” of innovation.
The Role of Open Source in the Data Center of the Future
04/06/2005, 09:45 AM - 10:30 AM
/ Edward Screven
Chief Corporate Architect, Oracle Corporation.
Data centers need to deploy an infrastructure today that is architected to accommodate future growth and demand, without having to invest in all of it upfront. What is the role of open source technologies in such a data center? In his keynote, Edward Screven will describe the attributes and requirements of the data center of the future and how the open source and closed source technologies together form its critical building blocks. His talk will also highlight real-world customer examples.
Open Source Stacks Up
04/06/2005, 11:00 AM - 11:50 AM
/ Marten Mickos
CEO, MySQL.
In his presentation, Mr Mickos discusses how well today's open source solutions stack up to the requirements of conservative corporate buyers. He also analyses the various open source stacks, such as LAMP, and how these are emerging as new abstraction layers for software, enabling organisations to more swiftly move to a new open architecture.
Clearing the Air About Open Source
04/06/2005, 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
/ Lawrence Lessig
Professor and Author, Stanford Law School.
Much has been made this past year about emerging legal risks to and from open source software and, in some cases, much ado about nothing. What's needed is a hard-headed analytical perspective on this growing trend, not myth-making from open source proponents or opponents. In this keynote, Professor Lessig will identify real threats to open source, and real opportunities emerging from this innovative form of licensing (and development).
