  1. Open Source SoftwareThe Oregon Nickel Tour

  2. What’s happening? • OSU’s Open Source Lab • The State • Industry in Oregon

  3. Oregon State UniversityOpen Source Lab Scott Kveton OSU Open Source Lab September 20th, 2005

  4. Open Source ina nutshell

  5. Or“Slides I stole from Scott”(with his permission of course)

  6. Open Source is More than Just Linux

  7. By the Numbers • 25 million unique visitors a day • Home to Mozilla and Linux Kernel Development • 420% ROI to University in 2 years • Donations from Industry • GOSCON

  8. OSL + Government = GOOD • Why partner with the State?

  9. Public Sector Program Or “The Three Slides I Did Myself”

  10. How does OSU OSL Help? • Information Clearing House • Connects the dots • Subject matter expert • CIO Council - enterprise solutions • State Data Center • Open Source Applications • Development Resources • Development Models • Business Case Guidance • Education & Outreach • Government Open Source Conference

  11. Shameless Promotion (but it’s really interesting)

  12. What You Will Gain from Attending • Hear from and meet Industry Experts on the forefront of the industry • Gain a clearer understanding of what Open Source is • Hear about how Open Source is used today at the state and local government level • Gain exposure to case studies in summary of systems and applications in government • Learn about Intellectual Property and other Legal Issues • Listen to a panel of experts provide diverse perspective on public policy • Participate in interactive sessions with their peer organizations • Network with their peers

  13. Speakers

  14. What’s happening in the state? CIO Council Governance for the Enterprise Data Center Consolidation

  15. Open Technology Industry Cluster Roadmap Prepared for the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department

  16. Or “Interesting Slides I Stole from Cheryl at Econ Dev” (with her permission of course)

  17. Open Technology is a $100B business opportunity.Oregon is the epicenter of Open Technology.

  18. Oregon’s 1st Gen Assets Intel – Linux Leadership IBM – Linux Leadership OSDL – 30 Major Tech Multinationals Developer Community & OSCON Oregon State University Open Source Lab

  19. OSDL Members

  20. OSS Projects Lead/Hosted Here ecf

  21. Trends SHIFT FROM RIGID, PROPRIETARY TO FLEXIBLE • All industries have embraced IT as necessary business infrastructure • All industries are shifting from unconnected, rigid systems with limited capabilities and high costs to flexible, scalable, connected systems • This need for modular and scalable software is driving the cost and the development of software in new directions. • The fastest growing aspect of the computing environment is within the area we call Open Technology

  22. Trends ALL CONTINENTS, ALL MAJOR INDUSTRIES • Linux is deployed across all continents and embraced by governments around the world. (IDC) • Linux is deployed across major industries: Retail, Government, Telco, Financial services, Life Sciences, Oil/gas and energy, University/academic. • Early adoption has given way to mainstream adoption for business/enterprise and scientific/technical applications.(IDC) • Linux is changing the world. (IDC)

  23. Oregon is the Center of Linux/Open Source Centers • Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) • Supported by a global consortium of established Linux & Open Source leaders • Accelerating the worldwide growth & adoption of Linux in the Enterprise • Growing importance of Linux in embedded devices • Linus Torvalds, Creator of Linux, is leading Linux development efforts from OSDL. • Intel • Linux is a key investment area for Intel. • Run their Linux strategies from Oregon. • 16,000 employees in Oregon • IBM Linux Technology Center (IBM LTC) • IBM’s headquarters for Linux testing & development • Strong collaboration with Intel, OSDL, OSU OSL & OTBC to drive Linux growth • Open Technology Business Center (OTBC) • Only center for incubating Open Source start-ups • Oregon State University Open Source Lab (OSU OSL) • Largest university-based applied Open Source research & commercialization lab • Host, distribute &/or mirror >20 Open Source projects including: Mozilla’s Firefox; MySQL; Apache; KDE; Debian Linux; Gentoo Linux; Ark Linux; Ximina Linux; Yellow Dog Linux; Netwinder Linux; & CPAN Perl libs. • Home to large, multi-state community source projects, e.g., Multi-state transportation app. --13 states & growing, including the Oregon Dept. of Trans. (ODOT) • Portland State University (PSU) • Linux & Open Source are rapidly permeating the Computer Science Dept.’s curriculum.

  24. Linux • The Oregon Linux subcluster includes organizations that work directly on Linux, create tools for Linux or provide Linux-related services. • R&D • The Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) - premiere Linux organization • IBM – works to make Linux stronger • Intel – working to make Linux easier to deploy • Companies • Immunix – creates a security tool for Linux • PolyServe – clustering & storage for Linux • Axian – training, support, migration, integration • UXComm – manages multi-server Linux systems • Linux Consulting firms – about 3 dozen that help install and support • GreenPC – infrastructure apps for Linux • Community • Free Geek • Linux User Groups + kernal hosting

  25. Oregon’s Sub-clusters IBM INTEL SUN HP LINUS TORVALDS OSDL OSU OSL (Mozilla, Apache) PSU – Google Summer of Code Compiere Eclipse

  26. Actions &Recommendations

  27. Findings • There is an enormous opportunity in Oregon • It is part of an International opportunity • We must move boldly • We must present a coordinated image • We must be “Open” economically and culturally as well as technologically

  28. Recommendation 1 State should immediately work to develop the Open Technology cluster and focus its collaborative efforts – and this work will be ongoing Actions: Cluster Coordinator Funding We have assets here that are unsurpassed, yet we have not asserted the leadership. We have the resources and less of the urgency. We have to change that. Oregon’s Open Technology Leaders

  29. Recommendation 3 Oregon Universities MUST Teach Linux and Open Source Software Actions: Industry/School workgroup We need better-trained people coming out of higher ed in this state. I cannot get the graduates with diverse computer science skills, especially software development. Dan Frye VP Linux Technology, IBM

  30. Recommendation 6 Government Can Accelerate Open Technology Actions: Government pilots GOSCON We have a lead in Open Source for government and there are opportunities for every school, organization and business that wants to move quickly, innovatively and collaboratively. Scott Kveton OSU OSL

  31. Summary • OSU’s Open Source Lab is focal point for collaboration and innovation • Density of commercial open source activity strengthens the community and challenges education to support training and workforce • The State has gained a resource to help lead a proof of concept for the viability of Open Source methodology for enterprise projects.
