@algillen took the #CloudHaiku challenge: https://twitter.com/...

as previously tweeted...
Doubters reversed course
Open code is today’s hot source
And tomorrow's force

Cloud is a team sport.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
Community strong.

Thank you. I am up for a challenge or two ;) https://twitter.com/...

...
#OpenTech is what
A Community Builds By
Sharing Together

What is "the dream"?
Radical transparency…
and abundant Code.

The sun is shining

Yet new clouds are closing in

Time to OpenSource

code is worth nothing
it's people that make it good
stagnation means decline

Open Tech is fun
Open Tech is energizing
Come join your friends

I’m in Tweasure Trove
Open Source is on my mind
Arr! OpenPirate!

Docs and websites. We already see it happening - making your website open is becoming more common

Wheelbarrow manufacturers!

Developers already love it and CIOs embrace it. The next step is going to be for business leaders to innovate around it.

@tmmoore_1 and Tweasure Hunters!

#OpenTech is becoming pervasive and relatively invisible... so I think it's less about who falls in love, but rather who uses it because it solves a problem, and uses it without making an explicit decision that "I'm in on OSS."

@tmmoore_1 yes the new tech advances are most often seen first in the wheelbarrow industry. It's a fireswamp of innovation and a tweasure for the #opentech community

it would be easier to explain where it's not going.

@tmmoore_1 What's good for wheelbarrow manufacturers is good for farmboys.

@zehicle *grabs popcorn* please, elaborate :)

@algillen LOVE it!

That would be a good conversation too @zehicle

Seriously, I think CIOs and CEOs are learning to appreciate its benefits over its drawbacks

@lindybrandon you have it. There are no bounds and every industry is into it

@skpodila the economics of #opentech are compelling for the consumer and disruptive for people entering the market. #pandora

@algillen with that, Al drops the mic and walks away!

Sounds like #opentech is becoming as essential to all parties as peanut butter is to jelly...

@zehicle #opentech is a huge leveler for start-ups vs bigcos: "No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone."

Challenge extended @zehicle -- no mask included....

Next community to go for #OpenTech is the #BusinessProcess & #LoB community. They'll fall in lust w/ #OpenTech, followed by disappointment, then reality-based expectations. Look for a lot of "Open Process" and shared BPM offers.

@angelluisdiaz I would see that being around tech like Blockchain

The ommunity that will next truly embrace and capitalize on #OpenTech : it's a tie (IMO) between the 5th Gen Networking communities (w/ SDN, real NFV, …) and the #DataAAS community, relying on everything #Blockchain & #datasPrivacy

LoB execs who can embrace tech like #Hyperledger for innovation in supply chain and resolution systems

@algillen +1 that means #oss has become a business model not a religion.

It’s all about passion. Passion to make useful tools that work. OSS provides a myriad of tools, docs, frameworks that everyone can leverage.

Plus this... https://twitter.com/...

Open Technologies help customers to avoid vendor lockin and avoid proprietary technologies.

Seems like everybody already DOES love #opentech. It's a fireswamp of ideas

Frankly, I would argue it's not about love, it's about practicality, best fit, and the right solutions. there are lots of people that love OSS, and don't even know what it is. (ie., Android phone users)

One look at the passion of the community members and the tweasure and the value that comes out of a community, the world can't resist but fall in love w #opentech!

@algillen true enough. one of the values is diversity in offerings and choices... and the ability to tailor to what you need

I see this as an opportunity to prevent re-invention of the wheel over and over again. As earlier stated, the adoption of a framework where maturation of the same can occur with community involvement

Heck, even a farmboy uses open source software in a day's work.

because, open

If only I had an open, open, open Yakit @christo4ferris :)

@amyhermes today's challenge

closed source can be like iocane powder - you get used to it but it really kills innovation

its the power of the crowd for development

the end users (companies) need to be more willing to sponsor open work

I do have a concern that #opentech becomes a way that big companies dump partial work for cheap marketing

@zehicle yes - we see this happening and not just with big companies. #opentech should be an investment not a fireswamp of useless projects intended for marketing or recruiting

IMHO, making money is important for OSS vendors. Losing open source "vendors," which usually drive projects, are a great loss since reduces contributions and investment to a project.

sometimes I feel like Inigo Montoya with some bigco open dumps "you murdered by open source ... "

@StevenDickens3 Too many companies have gone into #OpenTech business models without a clear understanding of the variations on business models and the nuance. #OpenTech cannot be a #ChildrensCrusade

agree on the need to monetize. Foundations need to corral cheap marketing out of the community and hold the community accountable

It's more complicated. Even if big companies hoover up the small innovative startups, that still does not guarantee long term viability of those technologies in the face of the same projects delivered as low cost cloud services

Now THAT needs a t-shirt @zehicle :)

@algillen And the danger is that big companies who consume the startups can easily kill innovation through process and overhead

@zehicle It's not only a BigCo hoovering up small #OpenTech companies that's problematic. Many webscale, *aaS companies have been beneficiaries w/o equitable return to the #OSS communities. It's an artifact of #OSSLicensing & a #TragedyOfTheCommons
