Title: Back to the Future: Free and Open Source Software in IT
practices and business
Abstract:In the early dawn of computers people had software written
which
exactly met their needs. They owned the software, and they could do
anything they wanted with it. Then in the 1980s packaged, binary-only
software
came into being and everything started to go downhill. In this talk
this
phenomenon is examined, and shown where and why it fails. The new
path of
software, Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is also examined, along
with
the changes needed for survival of IT businesses and investors.
