The eighth annual Future of Open Source Survey results, presented by Black Duck and North Bridge, point toward the increased strategic role that open source plays in today’s enterprises, its crucial function within new technology development, and the growth of both first-time developers within the OSS community and the impact open source has in daily life.
With a record-breaking 1,300 respondents, the 2015 Future of Open Source Survey results highlight record levels of corporate participation in open source, as well as the greater impact OSS is having on technology and security. Yet, this year's results also reveal a reported lack of formal company policies and processes for consuming and managing open source and its associated legal, operational, and security risks.

Black Duck Software and North Bridge Venture Partners announce the results of the sixth annual Future of Open Source Survey. Conducted in partnership with The 451 Group, the 2012 survey reveals that open source software (OSS) is leading innovation in major technology segments including mobile, cloud and big data, as well as creating innovative business models such as Open SaaS. The quality of open source, and the ability to continuously improve, is now one of the top reasons for its adoption.
Presentation at the 13th International Free Software Forum, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Abstract: In Latin America, it’s well-understood that Brazil was pioneering in considering FOSS to be both a strategy and a tool for regional economic development. But what about the rest of the world? As FOSS/OSS enters the mainstream of industry, how are countries in Europe and Asia looking at this disruptive force in software development? And what is happening in the United States where one could argue a very strong proprietary software industry is reinventing itself, with the U.S. government both following and leading the open development model?
This talk discusses FOSS from the perspective of open information technology ecosystems and government’s role in them, providing a picture of the changing landscape of software industries and the potential for localized economic benefit to those participating. It includes a perspective of how governments are experimenting with becoming more directly involved with the open source community, and to learn from them. Stories and examples are drawn for the speakers experience, research and direct involvement with government, academic and industry bodies creating exemplary projects and reference models for others to consider.
The document provides insights from the 10th annual Future of Open Source survey. Some key findings include:
1) Open source is now ubiquitous worldwide and powers technologies like operating systems, cloud computing, big data and IoT. 2) Over 65% of companies leverage open source to speed application development and over 55% use it for production infrastructure. 3) Container adoption is increasing, with 76% having plans to use containers and over a third currently using them for testing and development. 4) While open source use and contributions are increasing, security and management practices have not kept pace with rapid adoption.
Open Source Insight: Global Response to COSRI 2017 Open Source Security and R...Black Duck by Synopsys
Many Black Duck-related news stories in this week’s edition of Open Source Insight, thanks to the release of our 2017 Open Source Security and Risk Analysis detailing significant cross-industry risks related to open source vulnerabilities and license compliance challenges.
Black Duck conducts hundreds of open source code audits annually, primarily related to merger and acquisition transactions. For the 2017 analysis, our Center for Open Source Research & Innovation (COSRI) analyzed over 1,000 applications and found both high levels of open source usage — 96% of the apps examined contained open source — and significant risk to open source security vulnerabilities — more than 60% of the apps contained open source security vulnerabilities. All security professionals concerned about vulnerabilities and license compliance will want to review the report, which can be downloaded from the Black Duck website.
Emphasizing the need to stay on top of software security vulnerabilities is the NVD CVE listing for the month of April 2017, which now exceeds 900 entries, including CVE-2016-4899, a high to critical flaw where the datamover module in the Linux version of NovaBACKUP DataCenter before 09.06.03.0353 is vulnerable to remote command execution via unspecified attack vectors.
On to this week’s top open source and open source security news…
Black Duck and North Bridge announce the results of the seventh annual Future of Open Source Survey. The 2013 survey represents the insights of more than 800 respondents – the largest in the survey’s history - from both non-vendor and vendor communities. Survey results reveal the cultural impact of open source software and its influence on everything from innovation, to collaboration among competitors, to hiring practices, is revolutionizing the way organizations work and do business.
The 2016 North Bridge & Black Duck Future of Open Source Study marks the 10th Anniversary of this survey. The study examines open source software trends on an annual basis. Notably, the 2016 survey findings position open source as today’s preeminent architecture, the foundation for nearly all applications, operating systems, cloud computing, databases, and big data.
In terms of the strategic influence open source has on their business, respondents see it as an engine for innovation, with 90% reporting they rely on open source for improved efficiency, innovation and interoperability. The most compelling reasons cited in the survey for use of open source included flexibility and freedom from vendor lock-in; competitive features and technical capabilities; ability to customize; and overall quality.
The 2016 results also show that the rapid adoption of open source has outpaced the implementation of effective open source management and security practices. Nearly half of respondents report they have no formal processes to track their open source, and half reporting that no one has responsibility for identifying known vulnerabilities and tracking remediation.
Key 2016 Insights:
Open Source Is The Modern Architecture. Open Source is the foundation now for nearly all applications, operating systems, cloud computing, databases, big data and more.
Open Source IS the Engine of Innovation. Open Source is driving business because it facilitates faster, more agile development. This translates into quicker builds, accelerated time to market and vastly superior interoperability.
There is a new generation of companies and business models emerging. Respondents report that in the next two or three years, the business models that will generate the most revenue for open source vendors are SaaS (46%); Custom Development (42%) and Services/Support (41%).
Challenges remain: Open Source security and management practices have not kept pace with rapid adoption. In the wake of high profile breaches, there is likely to be more emphasis on security.
Participation and contribution will secure the future of open source. Investing in the open source community spurs innovation, delivers exponential value and most of all, it’s fun. It continues to grow as a key hiring and retention tool in IT shops of enterprises, governments, and startups alike.

It's been recognized that software is eating the world. Our seventh annual Future of Open Source survey points to the fact that open source is eating the software world. This year's results signal a shift in reasons why open source is chosen over proprietary alternatives. Increasingly, enterprises see it as leading innovation, delivering higher quality and driving growth rather than being just a free or low-cost alternative. Going forward, as broader adoption creates a virtuous cycle of innovation and investment, we can expect more disruption from open source, new business models and many more exciting new projects and companies, according to the North Bridge Press Release.
Cloud adoption continued to rise in 2013, with 75 percent of those surveyed reporting the use of some sort of cloud platform – up from 67 percent last year. That growth is consistent with forecasts from GigaOM Research, which expects the total worldwide addressable market for cloud computing to reach $158.8B by 2014, an increase of 126.5 percent from 2011.
This year’s survey finds several important shifts in why and how cloud computing is being used, obstacles to adoption, where cloud decision-making resides within organizations, and how the vendor landscape is changing. It also serves as a barometer for the industry’s progression. Feedback from across the different categories of respondents was consistent, signaling a convergence of vendor and user needs. Further, the survey reveals that business is driving the revolution deriving clear benefits from cloud adoption in the form of continuous innovation and business agility to yield competitive advantage.

Welcome & The State of Open Source SecurityJerika Phelps
This document summarizes information from a conference on open source software. It discusses trends showing that open source adoption continues to increase rapidly and is now essential to most development strategies. However, open source security and management practices have not kept pace. Many organizations do not have formal policies or processes to track, inventory, or remediate known open source vulnerabilities. Common vulnerabilities in widely used open source components continue to be exploited years later. The document outlines challenges but also the value that open source brings through reduced costs, accelerated innovation, and time to market. It concludes by emphasizing the need for sustained efforts to promote more secure use of open source.

The concepts of supply chain management, the industrial revolution and the transformation of software development with open source are all tied together in this talk by Brian Fox, VP of Product Management, during the January 2015 Long Island OWASP user group meetup.
The document summarizes the results of a survey of thousands of embedded systems developers on their use of operating systems. Some key findings:
- Over 28% of projects do not use an OS, most citing lack of need. Commercial OS usage is rising while in-house OS usage is declining.
- VxWorks is the most commonly used commercial OS at over 25%. Windows Embedded products and DSP/BIOS also ranked highly.
- Open-source OS enthusiasm is waning, with fewer developers planning to use Linux compared to last year's survey.
- Real-time performance, processor compatibility, and available tools are most important in OS selection. Non-technical factors are also increasingly important.
The document discusses three initiatives by OW2 to engage mainstream open source software users. It describes a beta-testing campaign platform to get user feedback, a market readiness levels assessment to help users evaluate projects, and an open source governance initiative to help users adopt best practices. The overall goal is to bring users into the open source ecosystem to help projects become more sustainable.

The focus areas of the discussion included the significance for organizations to excel in the digital industrial economy in order to become more technologically capable and sophisticated and also the changed role testing specifically test automation will play in the era of digitalization.
262 students from a junior high school in Greece completed an online survey about their participation in physical activities. The survey found that:
1) 41.38% of students exercise 3-5 times per week, while 34.48% exercise more than 5 times per week.
2) 67.30% of students enjoy participating in physical activities most of the time.
3) Remarkably, boys in the first grade reported that physical activity helps them release tension totally, while girls in the first grade did not report the same level of stress relief.
The survey of 142 parents identified several areas the school district needs to improve. Parents most strongly disagreed that they have a role in helping the school meet its vision. Other weak areas included sharing data about what is happening in the school and district, knowing the school's vision and purpose, and being actively involved at their child's school. The survey provides information to guide the district accreditation report on best supporting greater parent and community involvement.
The document contains parents' responses to questions about the strengths and areas for improvement of their children's school. The strengths mentioned include caring teachers, a friendly environment, good communication between teachers and parents, and an emphasis on student learning. Areas identified for improvement include the need for better building facilities, increased security, improved reading skills, less bullying, and more consistent communication from teachers regarding student progress.
The document analyzes survey results from viewers about their preferences for a thriller film opening sequence. It summarizes that the largest age group that responded was 0-17 years old, so the sequence should appeal to younger audiences. It also found most respondents were male, so the protagonist should be male. Most respondents were in education as well, so the sequence could include elements relating to school. Finally, while many people's favorite genre was comedy, the sequence will try to incorporate humor while still fitting the thriller genre for a younger audience.
The document summarizes an open source curriculum workshop focused on teaching facilitators about open source software and operating systems like Linux. It discusses key topics around proprietary vs open source software, examples of open source operating systems like Ubuntu and Debian, and the benefits of using the open source operating system Edubuntu in schools. The workshop emphasized the cost savings of open source solutions compared to proprietary software and pushed for adopting open source as mandated by the CBSE and MHRD. It promoted books developed by the speaker on the Edubuntu operating system and discussed gathering feedback and registering interest for future training sessions.

Six Easy Pieces of Quantitatively Analyzing Open SourceDirk Riehle
For the first time in the history of software engineering, we can both broadly and deeply analyze the behavior and dynamics of software development projects. This has become possible because of open source, which is publicly developed software. In this presentation, I will discuss our recent findings about open source software, its development process, and programmer behavior. I also discuss the challenges we encountered when quantitatively mining software repositories for such insights.

451 Group: Future Of Web Content Management - Open Source CMSSquiz
Presentation on The Future of Web Content Management including the rise of Open Source CMS by Kathleen Reidy, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Software for The 451 Group.
The document defines open source as a philosophy that promotes free redistribution and access to a product's design, ideas, and implementation details. Open source software is released to the development community for further evolution, whereas closed source software is developed privately by a small team. Open source has advantages like availability of source code, not depending on vendors, better quality/customizability, and lower costs compared to proprietary software. However, open source can also have disadvantages like a learning curve, incompatibility issues, and lack of financial incentives for developers. Popular examples of open source include Android, Linux, Firefox, and LibreOffice. The document also discusses open source licensing and common myths about open source software.

Jeffrey Hammond, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research (@jhammond) Guy Martin, Senior Open Source Strategist at Samsung Research America (@guyma) Kerrin Perniciaro, Manager of IT Communications & Web Strategy in the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) at Stony Brook University (@SBUDoIT) Brian Gentile, Chairman and CEO of Jaspersoft (@BrianG_Jasper)
A record-breaking 1,240 industry influencers took the 2014 survey, answering questions about OSS trends, opportunities, key drivers of open source adoption, community engagement, and the business problems OSS solves now and in the future. study highlight this democratization and proliferation of open source in three main areas: new people, new technologies, and new economics.
Open source is enjoying a proliferation that starts with a growing number of new developers at the grass roots. Many then go on to join enterprises who themselves are engaging in open source projects. Further news in the survey shows enterprises now organizing to contribute back more actively; as they realize the importance of open source innovation to jumpstart careers and kickstart projects. As our survey continues to show open source is consuming the software world as the inherent quality, functionality, and increasingly ease of deployment creates a powerful gravitational pull on people and industries. This self-reinforcing, virtuous cycle will result in the most exciting applications having an open source foundation. Which is why many of the leading technology areas such as cloud, big data, content management and mobile are treating open source as their 'foundational platform. Further, more new areas like the Internet of Things, which requires interoperability and extensibility, can only be met by open source initiatives, hence the emergence of new communities such as the AllSeen Alliance, according to the North Bridge Press Release.

You Can’t Live Without Open Source - Results from the Open Source 360 SurveyBlack Duck by Synopsys
Today, open source drives technology and development, and its worldwide adoption ranges from companies with a single employee to large corporations like Microsoft and Apple. All of these organizations rely on open source to innovate, reduce development costs, and speed time to market. Recent research reports point out that open source comprises 80% to 90% of the code in a typical application. Our Open Source 360° survey provides an update on the rapid evolution of open source development, use and management.
The 2017 Open Source 360° survey was conducted through Black Duck’s Center for Open Source Research & Innovation (COSRI), focusing on four important areas of open source – usage, risk, contributions and governance/policies. Our respondents include input from new players, established leaders, and influencers across vertical markets and communities. This range of respondents drives broad industry awareness and discussions of these key issues.
This document provides an overview of open source software including definitions, pros and cons, business models, and considerations for switching between open source and closed source models. It discusses key topics such as the open source community, customers' decision factors, popular licenses, market trends of open source projects and investments. Business models covered include services, SaaS, commercial plugins, dual licensing, and freemium. The document concludes with recommendations for open source companies regarding community engagement, transparency, and balancing commercial interests.
The document discusses how Enterprise 2.0 uses social media tools within organizations to encourage knowledge sharing, collaboration, and innovation among employees. It provides examples of how companies like P&G, Salesforce, IBM, AT&T, and BT have improved processes like R&D, customer relations, employee engagement, and productivity by implementing social networking tools, wikis, blogs and other collaboration platforms within their intranets and business systems. The document also outlines benefits to the organization like improved knowledge management, communication, innovation and HR capabilities when social media is adopted internally.
“What the App?”… A Modernization Strategy for Your Business Applications John Head
John Head gave a presentation on application modernization strategies. He discussed how social, mobile, and cloud disruptors are impacting applications and why modernization is important. Key points included how to integrate social processes into applications, extending legacy systems through platforms and cognitive technologies, and options like maintaining, modernizing, or replatforming applications. The presentation included demos of integrating applications with social platforms and surrounding legacy systems.
Open Source means a lot of things and revolutionized the way software is built over the last two decades.
Whether developing a product or providing a service, companies are rushing to get their businesses cloud ready, increasingly (big) data driven and flexible enough to take advantage of the inherent business scalability opportunities offered by the cloud.
And as the focus switches to the scale economies of execution, from ever cheaper opaque hosted web storage and connected services to the immutable containers movement, a question arises: what is the role of Open Source software in a world in which not only software (SaaS), but also platform (PaaS) and infrastructure (IaaS) are increasingly delivered (and consumed) as hosted services?
In this session, we'll attempt to answer to this question, by providing examples of Open Source cloud & big data companies and studying the effects of open development ecosystems and how Open Source is engrained in the fabric of the Cloud.

Digital Transformation and Application Decommissioning - THE RESEARCHTom Rieger
The resulting research paper from the August 2020 market surveying of 1000s of IT professionals around the current state of affairs and what is happening over the next 18-14 months.
The document discusses application networks, which seamlessly connect applications, data, and devices through a shared infrastructure that allows nodes on the network to discover and consume each other's capabilities. The key aspect of an application network is reuse - when new nodes are added to the network, their data and functions become available to other nodes, increasing the overall value of the network. For an application network to be successful, it must incentivize the creation of reusable assets while still respecting the self-interest of individual teams. The benefits of an application network include being clearly defined, broadly deployed, accessible, modular, seamless, elastic, scalable, and secure.

FLIGHT Amsterdam Presentation - Open Source, IP and Trade Secrets: An Impossi...Black Duck by Synopsys
Open source software, patents, and trade secrets each offer different ways to protect information relating to software. Open source licenses make source code available and allow free distribution but also allow others to modify the code. Patents protect specific inventions for a limited time but require describing the invention publicly. Trade secrets have indefinite protection as long as information is kept secret, but lose protection if the secret becomes public. Combining these approaches poses challenges, as open source and trade secrets in particular seem contradictory. Companies must carefully manage what software is shared openly versus kept proprietary through internal policies and legal agreements.

8. “This year’s results signal an important shift in how enterprises
view open source – a shift that will have tremendous impact on the
future of development. Open source has proven its quality and
security, and reached the point of democratization and
proliferation. As such, organizations must – and, as our survey
shows, some of the more sophisticated OSS users have already
begun – changing the way they view their role. Understanding
that it’s about more than just cost-cutting or any of the traditional
reasons to simply use OSS; it’s about participating and managing
the logistical challenges to gain competitive advantage, attract top
talent, and influence project direction.”

16. “Open Source is enjoying a proliferation that starts with a growing number of new
developers at the grass roots. Many then go on to join enterprises who themselves are
engaging in Open Source projects. Further news in the survey shows enterprises now
organizing to contribute back more actively; as they realize the importance of Open
Source innovation to jumpstart careers and kickstart projects. As our survey continues
to show Open Source is consuming the software world as the inherent quality,
functionality, and increasingly ease of deployment creates a powerful gravitational
pull on people and industries. This self-reinforcing, virtuous cycle will result in the most
exciting applications having an Open Source foundation. Which is why many of the
leading technology areas such as cloud, big data, content management and mobile are
treating Open Source as their 'Foundational Platform.’ Further, more new areas like the
Internet of Things which requires interoperability and extensibility can only be met by
open source initiatives, hence the emergence of new communities such as the AllSeen
Alliance."

because of how quickly and cost-effectively OSS can help to
deploy projects. Due to budget constraints in recent years,
faculty and staff have been asked to do more with less, so it
makes sense to seriously consider open-source alternatives
when faced with making strategic decisions...In addition,
many incoming students…expect it to be part of the
