• How do you manage community contributions?

• How do you plan for Open Source adoption?

• Isn’t open source going to infect our intellectual property?

• Why would we open source our assets?

A Brief History of Eclipse Launched by IBM in 2001

– Initial release of the Eclipse technology platform (Platform, JDT,PDT)

– Founding consortium board comprised Borland, IBM, Red Hat……

Eclipse Foundation formed in 2004 – Independent not-for-profit organization formed in 2004 – Definition of bylaws, membership model, initial IP process

Eclipse Foundation today, 2013 – Members include IBM, Oracle, SAP, CA, Nokia, Cisco, etc. – 203 members, (10 strategic members), ~1000 committers – 240+ Open Source Projects – Industry-focused working groups in Automotive,

LocationTech, M2M and Aerospace


Eclipse: a vibrant open source community


“Eclipse is an open source community focused on developing a development platform of runtimes, frameworks and exemplary tools that make it easy and cost-effective to build and deploy software solutions.”

Eclipse: a sustainable eco-system


“Eclipse is a vendor-neutral consortium of major software vendors, solution providers, corporations, educational and research institutions and individuals working together to create a sustainable eco-system that enhances, promotes and cultivates the Eclipse open platform with complementary products, services and capabilities.”

Our constraints

One example : AIRBUS A300

• Program began in 1972 and will stop in 2007

2007-1972 = 35 years...

• Support will last until 2050

2050-1972 = 78 years !!!

On board software development for very long lifecycle

products

Trend 3: Complexity is growing

faster the competencies

November, 2009

Boeing and Airbus measure the

current rate of software

growth as 400 percent every

two years

Agenda






Open Source is the Freedom to Control Your Own Destiny

OSS Freedoms* Freedom 0

to run the program, for any purpose

Freedom 1 to study how the program works,

and change it to make it do what you wish

Freedom 2 to redistribute copies

Freedom 3 to distribute copies of your modified versions to others

(*) As defined by the Free Software Foundation


Open Source offers a new option by combining the best of “Make” and “Buy”

30 April 2010 Copyright (c) 2010, Eclipse Foundation, Inc. Made available under the Eclipse Public License 1.0 32

User may influence further development

Option: Use Open Source software

Significantly reduced project risks and costs

Is a de-facto standard

+

+

+

Software tailored to the user needs

Option: Make bespoke software

Reduces project risks in software development

Option: Buy commercial software

+ +

Very high total cost and project risks in software development

User with very limited influence in the development

– –

VS. VS.

Total cost still high – Becomes legacy in the future

– Legacy costs are shared

+

Value

Business Drivers


Build this in and with open source, even if that means working with your direct competitors.

Identify precisely what your IT competitive differentiators are for your customers

Focus all possible energies there, and acquire everything else from OSS, or help build it in OSS

Platform

Value

Or, in other words...


Co-develop the platform in collaboration with others

Focus on your value
