Open Source Businesses and Developer Careers: Who Benefits from Open Source? How and Why?
Tue, 2008-02-19 19:09 — Dirk RiehleOpen source is changing how software is built and how money is made. This talk discusses the economics of open source software from the start-up firm, the system integrator, and the software developer perspective. The talk provides a strategy framework and discusses its implementation using the dual-license strategy. It explains how system integrators use open source in the share-of-wallet wars. Finally, open source defines a new developer career. This talk explains this new career and argues that it creates economic value for some while it makes life harder for others.

Agile adoption in the Open Source community ranges from some to none for most successful teams.
- Can these communities learn anything from each other?
- Are these two communities one in the same?
- Do Open Source projects and Agile projects succeed or fail for the same reasons?
Open Source Meets Agile - What can each teach the other?
Mon, 2007-12-17 02:58 — Mary Poppendieck, Christian Reis
Christian Reis a veteran of the open source movement, will begin with a 60 minute talk summarizing the fundamental beliefs and essential processes found in open source development. Mary Poppendieck will follow with a 30 minute summary of the strengths and weaknesses of both open source and agile development, and what they can learn from each other. During the second half of the workshop, the attendees will break into teams, and each team will come up with a list of what open source methods might contribute to agile thinking.
