FuelingOpen-Source

Offering services, licensing or premium code can be paths to monetize contributions.

Some developers become superstars in the community and can leverage their reputations to monetize speaking engagements, or training sessions etc.

it has to be hybrid model wherein small chunks of your bigger product is supported by open source community and the wrappers of #governance & #compliance may be proprietary. #devops

Is it a leap of faith to take on Open-source software for your business's core functionality and moving from paid support to an open source community support?

As Garima mentioned - healthcare, telecom, finance industries have developed their own regulatons.

Can always start with open source and make it your own. Start at some point, and then make it yours. Open-source doesn't mean end product, a starting point for development

absolutely it need to be. Proprietary tools cannot be leveraged all the time by all the business. Open-source need to be looked outside but inside which is where the concept of Inner Open Source communities are increasing. #devops #opensource

only when every developer is considered sponsor

it is inevitable..

OPEN SOURCE EXAMPLES - Ansible, Chef, Docker, ELK Stack, Git, Jenkins, Nagios, Puppet Enterprise, Selenium, Splunk

also Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge browsers

Kubernetes

Interesting question.. And how are open source projects monetized as well?

Through changing ROI, investments should depend on ROI - difference with Agile is need some time to start delivering MVP

For both open-source and proprietary solutions, the overall framework of sourcing, business relationship management, investment, training, support are similar but with some unique, specific roles.

Is in-app advertising a solution for business apps?

There are many monetization myths such as monetization is “anti-open source", or "It is complicated", or "if it is freely available, why would anyone pay me?"

Open-source simply means the code is visible, doesn't mean free, or not monetized. Think subscription services, support networks, or licenses. Could freely distribute front-end code, and charge for back-end connection to verify against controlled data

Advertizing monetizes web time, if the app is on the business side, could certainly use but might decrease selection by business

Good software fuels devOps, if the software is internal, don't need Open-source. However, scope of flow means looking at all available options

hope in that catch organizations don't end up messing their #devops tooling journey for quick patch up work :)

Yes and No.. :)

license , Support,Cost , resources

funding?

investment

In a data-centric world, opensource can still be linked with a trailblazing mentality.

regulATORY

IT is a key component in any business strategy so IT has to ask themselves if the opensource path will better serve the business requirements or will it add more risk, will it move the focus of IT away from business or add flexibility to better support the business?

#governance #compliance #regulatoryworld #devops

Big companies also have opportunity to influence, and they tend to buy start-ups who challenge - Innovators dilemma

I think limiting to IT may be an anti-pattern. Technology is a component in business strategy. Understanding technology patterns is the value delivery. Understanding open source is important but requires business delivery in training, standardization, management

Of course, Open source always offers innovation

Why would open source decrease business value? Acquiring the right tools is part of the value stream for any solution

DevOps is a vehicle

In my perspective both DevOps and Open source development are inevitable

its similar ques to whether #DevOps is fuelling #Cloud and vice-versa. The business is driving both is my view. So better they collaborate with each other the better for business.

@bajpaigarima1 with Open source as fuel? Or open source as the economy option

@pareeksiddharth Can do cloud with waterfall, all depends on user expectations

@TinyCyber very interesting - how do you advocate the business model for economy

@TinyCyber how we break down regulatory silos

Starts with why do you haver a regulatory silo? Those individuals work better when integrated with teams, and have more awareness to fix the problems left of delivery
