Traditional software companies have opened up some of their products, and many open-source companies have adopted a hybrid model in which they give away a basic version of their product and make money by selling proprietary add-ons.”

Notas do Editor
- Last year (foss4g Sydney) Paul Ramsey, in his keynote talk, spoke about how open source providers should consider building full solutions and not merely software, and about how today almost all companies use and support some sort or another of open source software. He cited a quote from an article in a May 2009 issue of The Economist magazine. Let’s see it a bit more clearly (the video posted online was recorded from a camera phone!). <Next slide>
- The part Paul showed is in yellow. But I think it’s interesting to see a larger portion of that samequote. From the FOSS perspective it is interesting to see that the value of open source is being recognized by industry. But on the other hand the FOSS community should not ignore the fact that this Economist article focuses on the BLEND, and in that sense they are reminding the world that collaboration among business models is happening everywhere. The world is not black and white, but rather shades of grey: a diverse ecosystem of people finding a variety of ways to make a difference and to solve real problems.
- One way to look at this ecosystem is mixed source. In a recent paper by that name, researchers at the Harvard Business School –in fact the lead researcher is Catalan!– describe a useful distinction between open core and open extension in software development.
- Here we have their categorization of software products. The core software can be open or closed, and the same for the software extensions. Now exactly which box each product belongs in is subject to some debate, but here we argue that ArcGIS occupies the lower left box. ArcGIS is a closed core platform, upon which open extensions can be, and are being, created.
- Here is one example of an open extension: the Marine Geospatial Ecology Toolkit. This extension of ArcGIS is programmed in Python, integrates the R statistical package, and is freely available.
- Recently the ESRI Geoportal team released an Open Street Map editor extension to ArcGIS desktop. Source code is provided.
- Here we see OSM tiles served to ArcGIS Explorer Online, a free web application. The tiles are served mainly from University College London, where researchers are both OS developers and one of the 28 ESRI Development Centers (or EDCs) around the world. Once again, everything is mixed: shades of grey. The ESRI web platform brings OSM data to a wider audience and the OSM data adds value to the platform.
- ESRI is one of the partners in the 52 North initiative, based in Muenster, Germany. 52 North has developed a sensor web extension to ArcGIS Server, again, adding value to the Server platform as well as extending the reach of the extension software. This synergistic collaboration helps to reach more people and to make more of a difference. For more details see attend the 52North paper presentations and visit us at the 52North booth.
- Containerized shipping revolutionized the way we move cargo around the world, increasing flexibility, lowering costs, AND exploiting an established platform: rail and trucks. A successful transportation ecosystem.
