Creates diversity of use-cases
Case study: Linux
● Top mobile phone operating system
● Powers 98% of world's super computers
● Hugely popular embedded OS
Drives adoption

Adoption drives marketplace, standards

Case study: Mozilla Firefox
● <5% market share at launch in 2001
● Grew to ~25% market share by 2006
● Led adoption of CSS, HTML4, HTML5
● Drove updates to Internet Explorer, entry of Google
into browser market
● Browser extensions improve experience for users
Case study: Deltacloud
● De facto reference implementation of CIMI standard
● Liberally licensed open source implementation
encourages adoption
Engage early, stay agile

Case study: NSA and SELinux
● NSA needed access control security policy for Linux
● Engaged Red Hat during development process,
patches available in 2000
● Integrated into standard Linux kernel in 2003
● Standard in Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Case study: AlterWay and oVirt
● French services and hosting company
● Running a public cloud offering “H2O” on oVirt, needed
features added in oVirt 3.1
● Openness enabled AlterWay to get ahead of the Red
Hat Enterprise Virtualization product
● Engaged the project as a sponsor and supporter,
influencing project roadmap
Engaging makes better software
Diverse marketplace of service providers

Case study: OpenStack
● OpenStack project launched by NASA and Rackspace
in 2010
● Hugely successful in growing an ecosystem of
suppliers (distributions, public cloud providers, service
companies, consultants)
● A multitude of suppliers gives customers the freedom
to leave: opportunity to switch supplier or support
vendor
More eyeballs, fewer bugs

Case study: Tokyo Stock Exchange
● Regular downtime, server “overheating”
● Moved to Red Hat Enterprise Linux in 2009
● Since move: transaction latency down from seconds to
milliseconds
● Zero downtime since migration
Open Source is better quality than proprietary

No more zombie projects

Case study: LibreOffice
● Oracle pulled resources off OpenOffice.org after
acquisition
● Community forked LibreOffice project
● Over 600 developers from dozens of companies in
recent 4.0 release cycle
Case study: Evolution
● Ximian and CodeFactory developers worked on
Evolution 1.0
● Ximian acquired by Novell, Novell reduce involvement
● Red Hat continues development and maintenance
Payment at the point of value
Case study: OpenShift Origin
● Evaluation possible with OpenShift onlineat
openshift.redhat.com
● Install and support OpenShift Origin yourself, evaluate
and prepare for deployment
● Buy support for OpenShift Enterprise once you move
to production
Engaging with open source projects
Engaging with open source projects
● “When in Rome...”
● Learn community processes
● Be bold
● Be persistent
