After several decades of use, should we consider open source software (OSS) a business model? In short: No! In this conversation, open source evangelist Javier Perez welcomes technology evangelist and CNCF ambassador Dotan Horovits to provide context for the biggest changes happening in OSS, discuss what a sustainable future looks like for open source, and explain what to do when companies choose to go not-so-open with their source code.
Highlights:
- Why open source shouldn’t be considered a business model
- The “disturbing trend” in OSS and why “nothing is written in stone” when it comes to open source
- How tools can differentiate themselves from the ‘open source-ness' of their projects
Speakers:
- Javier Perez, Open Source Evangelist
- Dotan Horovits, Cloud Native Ambassador at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and host of the OpenObservability Talks podcast
