BE LAZY LIKE A FOX.
DON’T REINVENT
THE WHEEL EVERY
TIME.

What is Openness?
● Openness is the indicator of the thing which is reachable.
● When sources are open to you, you can use, combine,
gather sources for your purposes.
● Governments, corporations can block using sources
because of license revenues, protecting and conserving
reasons.

4.
OPEN SOURCE ORIGINS ON DEVELOPERS
(SOFTWARE SIDE)
● Open source
movement is strongly
supported from open
source software users
and developers,
according to their
groups' agendas and
discourses.
● Like NixCraft
(cyberciti.biz)'s
discourses and
cheerful shares.
NixCraft focuses on "Howtos and tutorials about
CentOS, RHEL, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OS X and
everything Unix related".

5.
OPEN SOURCE ORIGINS ON DEVELOPERS
LOCAL GROUPS(AT TURKEY)
● And there are so many local
groups and communities which are
supporting open source as
themselves' life views.
● For instance in Turkey,
– Alternatif
Bilişim(www.alternatifbilisim.org)
is a association(its works are about
privacy and tracking, new media, hacking
as a life style and freedom),
– LKD(www.lkd.org.tr) is another
association gathers Linux(open source
opearting system) users and so on.
● These instances and like this
communities has some ideological
views. Like early steps of Open
Source Movement.

6.
● But for today, open source movement is growing by not just
these group's contributions.
● Because Open source movement is extending with;
– Open Source Software
– Open Hardware
– Open Programming Language
– Open Data
– Open Science
– Open Patent
– WikiHouse
– Open Community
– Open Source Money
terms.

7.
AS A NOTION, AS A TREND
● While technological using areas of Open Source is
growing, Open source as a notion, is decreasing.
● It means, open source activism are being
changed by its shape.
Searching "Open Source" keyword from Google Trends

8.
● But day after day, companies declares his
products as open source like Apple's Swift
language, or like Microsoft's .Net framework's
open release and its' cloud solutions and
others.

9.
Disruptiveness and Positioning of
Software Companies
● Releasing open source
licensed things is not just
a donation or
voluntariness. This is
oppositely disruptive
movement forces the
biggest companies.
● Companies like Micro$oft
are releasing open
licensed things but there is
no structured support and
optimality. Some releases
are still behaviouring like
close source software.

10.
● Moreover the transformation of earning money
from software or IT, is tended to suppliying
clusters, cloud servers, and more Product as
Service. In this context according to Urs Hölzle,
– "...within the next five years, the company's Google
Cloud Platform revenues could surpass
Google's advertising revenue."

11.
This is not just
diversifying the
revenue channels
according to
software
companies. There
are another Cloud
providers like
Amazon AWS.
Evolution of
revenue models,
gives no opportunity
to sell close-
softwares.

12.
Change of Pricing
Pricing for software under the name of "using license price" is
changing. Until now, pricing is for storage and infrastructure.
This an example of AWS marketyplace app(TACTIC). If you
don't need to a cloud provder, this app's cost will be zero!
Motivation
We cannot sell applications under the license revenue.
Majority of companies IT departments, these departments can
redesign open source applications.
So we should reposition us.
1) By giving customized apps
2) By giving software as a service
3) Pricing as subscription

Companies

Where is the Open Source on Cloud
Providers?
● Cloud works with open source languages(open source
framework) majorly.
– Ruby on Rails (RoR)
– Python
– Django
– PHP
– MySQL
– PostgreSQL
– MongoDB
– Apache Hadoop
– Vertica
– LevelDB
● But AWS is different. AWS is building his own softwares
but these AWS apps derived from open-source stuff.

15.
Companies giving its API's for giving limited permission
to use (and change) their systems while during
Hackathons. It's indicates there is no strategical way
out of supporting open-source and maker movement.

16.
Disruption of Disruption: SelfHosting
● Gigantic software companies tended to supplying hardware as we saw on cloud
example.
● But;
– You can create your own cloud with open source softwares(Owncloud, OpenStack, Pydio,
Sparkleshare, SeaFile) and cheap mini-computers like Raspberry or CHIP etc.

What are the Other Open Source
Things?
"...I remember the time back “open source” wasn’t allowed as
a class to be included in software projects for enterprise.
Here is an interesting passage from the same CIO article:
– Open source triumphed. Corporate systems today routinely
include a range of open-source components as a matter of
course. One can argue that most of the new software
components that corporations are using are, in fact, open
source. I would even argue that, today, most of the innovation in
infrastructure software is occurring in open-source projects,
not proprietary products."
Oleg Shilovitsky - PLM(Product Life Management) Consultant

"WikiHouse is an open source building system.
Many designers, collaborating to make it simple
for everyone to design, print and assemble
beautiful, low-energy homes, customised to
their needs."

Open Desk
● Furniture design and downloadable resources

22.
Open Data & Open Science
● Predicting the future and knowing the moment
requires datas. The problem of the accessing the
data started the open data understanding.
● Motivations and Wishes on Open Data
– Obtaining/Observing government's transparency
– Facts cannot be copyrighted
– Sponsors of researchs can hide the results(?)
– In research, result is accelerated by better access to
data

23.
● Some pros&cons are
valid on open data.
– May cause wrong
reduction, wrong
correlation
– When datas are
representable by
different values,
some wrong
understanding may
occur.
● Open data says “at
least specialist
should see their
areas' datas”

24.
● At Turkey, www.acikbilim.com(founder Tevfik
Uyar) is an example of open access supporters
especially in science.

Questions & Answers
...I think Open Source is the
right thing to do the same way I
believe science is better than
alchemy. Like science, Open
Source allows people to build on
a solid base of previous
knowledge, without some silly
hiding. But I don't think you
need to think that alchemy is
"evil." It's just pointless because
you can obviously never do as
well in a closed environment as
you can with open scientific
methods.
— Linus Torvalds
