Having had a day to ruminate about the Open Source Business Conference 2008, a few key takeaways suggest themselves. It was by far the best OSBC yet, with a far more diverse audience and talking faculty that we’ve had before. This naturally leads to a diverse set of “conclusions” arising from the event:

  1. Enterprises love open source but the business models necessary to fuel both their happiness and that of the vendors still need a lot of work.

    Jon Williams of Kaplan Test recommended in his keynote, as Dirk Hohndel captures, that the more happy he’s with his commercial open-source software, the less likely he will be to pay for it. Why? Because his developers will acquire the expertise over time to support themselves and because the product will mature to the point that support will be less necessary.

Last year’s Open Source Business Conference (OSBC) was opened up by Red Hat’s then CEO, Matthew Szulik. This year we’re hearing from Red Hat’s new CEO, Jim Whitehurst. Jim is very different from Matthew, but there are some similarities.

Two components of the power of the open-source model that I didn’t originally recognize:

  1. Public policy value of open source, especially outside the US.
  2. You don’t have any barrier or property or scarcity, which makes it tough to make money. But from the customer’s point of view, this means that you’re having to earn your renewal every single day of the contract.

On the first point:

I’ve known Jon Williams, chief technology officer of Kaplan Test, for a few years, and have always been impressed by his active involvement in the technology world. He blogs. He helps to run a New York CTO breakfast club. He keeps involved with various open-source communities. He’s an ideal CTO.

Given Jon’s background, one statement that he made in his opening remarks particularly impressed me:

I don’t use open source because it’s free….I use open source because it works.

Jon then offered up several key benefits derived from open source at Kaplan Test:

In the rather rarefied atmosphere of web standards compliance, the Acid3 suite of browser tests is like a pro wrestler’s chair to the back of the head: if you can take it and keep standing, that’s very impressive. The Acid3 suite, first released at the beginning of this month, pushes browsers to the very edges of their rendering, SVG, CSS and DOM scripting abilities — all necessary for a consistent and interoperable Web 2.0 experience.

As with the earlier Acid2 test, there’s been a bit of a horserace among browser development teams to be the first to the finish line with Acid3, including the WebKit squad responsible for Safari’s underlying engine; Acid3 dev Ian Hickson gives major props to Apple and the WebKit devs on his blog, including efforts to clear bugs in the test suite itself (he had to work quite hard to find standards compliance issues in WebKit). On Wednesday evening, both the Opera and WebKit teams declared a 100% score — not a full pass, as there are minor issues to clean up, but nevertheless the test looks like it should. With the Mac nightly build of WebKit available for download, you too can feel the power of this fully operational web standards battle station.

[A quick clarification: While both Opera and WebKit have claimed 100% on Acid3, only one of the browsers — WebKit — has a publicly downloadable version right now that can make that score. Opera’s build won’t be released for another week or so.]

Thanks Adam
