OSBC2007 SF Welcome
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
The rock music has stopped and Matt Asay's Welcome is happening as I type. This is the seventh show and the fourth year for the OSBC. There is a revolution going on in Open Source solutions, with over 2 billion US$ in V.C. funding and 65% of enterprises stating that open source has spurred innovation in their industry.
Open source's only real friend...
... is the customer
A friend of Matt said this
A very interesting point is that proprietary vendors create ecosystems around their products that do create value for their customers, but are also designed to keep competitors out of the ecosystem and out of the market. Organizations, such as the Open Source Alliance, are creating ecosystems for Open Source projects and companies, that create value for customers and communities across open source projects, but invite all open source providers.
