“Being an open source user is like living in a house inhabited by a large family of industrious
beavers. Each morning when you wake up, the house is a little different; maybe there is a
new bathroom, some walls have moved or there’s no floor under your bed."

industry veterans to provide management and strategy consulting to
companies leveraging open source. In January 2005, Mr. Aitken
spearheaded and continues to host the software industry’s only “think
tank” on the future of commercial open source, now a bi-annual event held
in Napa, CA and Paris, France, and regularly attended by the industry’s
leading CEO’s and visionaries. (thinktank.olliancegroup.com) In
December, 2010, Black Duck acquired Olliance Group and today Mr.
Aitken is GM of Olliance, a Black Duck Company.
Mr. Aitken has participated as an expert witness on the issues of open source
to the California Senate and been an invited guest lecturer at Stanford’s

• Abundance
– Over 2,000 repositories
– 100s of forges
– Maturation and proliferation
causing:
• Balkanization
• Sourcing and evaluation challenges
• Brand confusion
• Scarcity
– Those same developers that drive
abundance are themselves, scarce
– Demand outstripping availability
