Future of Open Source Survey
Welcome to the 2012 6th Annual Future of Open Source Survey!
Black Duck and North Bridge, and 451 Research, invite you to take the survey.
The new survey focuses on the next generation of open source topics – community driven innovation, vertical industry adoption, etc. Thanks to our friends at OSBC - if you compete the survey, you can take 20% off the conference registration fee! In other words, take 5 minutes to take the survey and save $35 per minute on your registration!
What’s new this year?
- The new survey has an industry focus that probes the next stage of open source development – industry-driven community innovation.
- 20+ collaborators - many noteworthy returning industry leaders and newly formed organizations that have evolved from mergers.
- Improved Future of Open Source Forum to access past surveys and discussions
- A new Future of Open Source blog category will be coming soon on Open Source Delivers.
- North Bridge and Black Duck will jointly lead the Future of Open Source keynote panel on opening day of OSBC, May 21, 2012 in San Francisco to discuss the survey results with Open Source leaders. The keynote panel will include: Michael Skok, General Partner North Bridge, Tim Yeaton, CEO Black Duck Software, Tom Erickson, CEO Acquia, Ryan Garner, VP of Direct to Consumer Warner Music Group, and more to come!
