Why Open Models Can Actually Improve Your Quality Control
Winsor: What advice would you offer to businesses who are building out open source programs?
Hlivko: Before you launch, you’ll start running into engineering challenges, funding questions, dev/ops pipeline integration, branding considerations and a host of other small items to work through. I would recommend identifying key talent, both leadership and team members, which are good at leaning into the model and thinking through these problems horizontally. A small core internal team can advocate for the crowd and evangelize it when ready.

Will big money destroy the open source dream?
According to the report, open source monetisation strategies vary and evolve. One of the most popular models at present is what is referred to as “open core”. This involves a blend of free open source and proprietary software, with different levels of openness within the model. Docker, Elastic, GitLab, MongoDB and Redis are all identifiable as open core companies.
Another open source monetisation strategy is the development of a corporate-sponsored open source project which is often used as a business development resource rather than as the company’s primary offering. An example of this is Kubernetes, which has been developed primarily by Google and which, through its widespread adoption, has boosted awareness of Google Cloud Platform.
“Within the increasingly competitive cloud services market, building developer trust with open source initiatives (like Kubernetes) provides valuable differentiation,” CB Insights comments.

Understanding the open source model for CSPs
How can communication service providers best use open source development and deployment models, and how does the increasing viability and visibility of open source software impact how CSPs and their suppliers do business? Does it really result in lower equipment and development costs for operators, and how much of an investment - in terms of time and money - does a CSP need to make in open source and the community in order to maximise its returns? If open source results in an unmanageable increase in software components with too many variants, then do we instead need a “curated” open source model driven by CSP-led reference designs? Above all, is open source beneficial or detrimental to the telecoms supply chain?

Google takes AMP to the OpenJS Foundation
AMP, Google’s somewhat controversial project for speeding up the mobile web, has always been open-source, but it also always felt like a Google project first. Today, however, Google announced that the AMP framework will join the OpenJS Foundation, the Linux Foundation-based group that launched last year after the merger of the Node.js and JS foundations. The OpenJS Foundation is currently the home of projects like jQuery, Node.js and webpack, and AMP will join the Foundation’s incubation program.

Not just a barking dog: Open-source developers grow to embrace software as a service
The open-source movement has a history that captures both its community spirit and renegade impact. Sometimes, that history even involves a yapping animal.
In Linux, the “biff” command notifies users when mail arrives and identifies the deliverer. Was “biff” a cleverly conceived acronym for a remarkably sophisticated programming language?
No. It was named after a dog owned by the developer of Berkeley Software Distribution or BSD, a Unix-similar operating system built in the 1970s. Biff used to run out and bark every time the mailman showed up.
Open-source code has moved way beyond its early days as a barking dog in the computer world. Today, open-source companies are commanding huge multiples on Wall Street and major players are opening wallets, as evidenced by IBM Corp.’s purchase of Red Hat Inc. in October for $34 billion.

Steiner on the hypocrisy of open source parts
Guenther Steiner has called out Haas’ rivals’ hypocrisy with some teams keen to adopt an open-source approach to parts of their design but not go down the standard parts route.
As part of the debate over the 2021 regulations, some teams have balked against the idea of introducing more standard parts into Formula 1.
However, those same teams are keen on putting parts of their designs out on open-source, allowing others to copy them.

GitHub CEO discussed ‘evolving’ position on China in private all-hands meeting
Tensions continue to grow over a GitHub contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as employee activists pressure the company to cut ties with the agency.
In a standing-room-only meeting yesterday, executives answered questions from employees on the controversial contract. CEO Nat Friedman fielded questions from employees and attempted to explain why the company would renew a $200,000 contract with the immigration agency. The Verge has obtained a transcript of the conversation.
“This is an important topic not just because we find this issue of US immigration policy so odious, offensive, abhorrent, cruel, evil, such a meaningful topic,” Friedman said, according to the transcript. “I personally feel that. I know many other Hubbers share that thought.”
