Open source software lets Genuitec forgo venture capital
One business that relies heavily on open source software is Genuitec, the company that produces the proprietary subscription-based MyEclipse interactive development environment. Low-cost MyEclipse adds functionality to Eclipse, an open source application development software framework. Genuitec co-founder and Vice President of Technology Todd Williams says his company is able to keep prices affordable because it avoided using venture capital money, and because Genuitec itself is built completely on open source.
"Our infrastructure for the Web site, internal development, and download servers is 100% open source," Williams says. "It's basically a LAMP stack, with PHP and a PostNuke content management system. We also use CVS for version control, Bugzilla for issue tracking, and OpenOffice.org for communication and presentations."
