Connected Capitalism: Real Open Source Changes More Than You Think March 17, 2006

Simon Phipps, Chief Open Source Officer, Sun Microsystems

While many people equate "open source" with "Linux" or "free," the truth is much more far-reaching than short-term cost savings or a challenge to incumbent vendors. Simon Phipps will discuss the model behind open source, the social context in which it is appearing and the way this changes the development, delivery and pricing of software. Learn about the different delivery and product models that are likely to emerge and how you can identify the open source-based products that set you free to succeed.
