Red Hat panel: Open source is the future, but only if it can expand beyond developers
Tim Yeaton, EVP and CMO, Red Hat
Leigh Day, VP, Corporate Communications, Red Hat
Nick Hopman, senior director, Emerging Technology Practices in US Sales, Red Hat
Josh Patterson, director, Field Engineering, SkymindThese executives discussed the open source movement and how it relates to Red Hat endeavors, producing some interesting insights worth sharing.
Nick Hopman stated the technological and delivery model for open source technology is an "overnight success that started in the eighties." The concept has roots in the university system where open source licenses promoted sharing. "Over the last ten years we've seen a metamorphosis. Every major technology that enterprises are likely to bet on - cloud, artificial intelligence, mobility - has a lot of its current innovation happening upstream in the open source community," he stated. "The small university-centric collaboration model is now a fountain of innovation."
