Our industry has shown that open source movements usher in tectonic shifts that enable new business and access models. These shifts fundamentally change the way technology is developed, consumed and the value it can bring. Today, mobility, social, big data along with cloud computing are representative of some of the biggest shifts offering great value, especially when leveraging open source movements, like OpenStack technology.
In this keynote, Brian Aker, HP Fellow, will share challenges and best practices from his work with OpenStack software, including how a rich set of APIs must be developed in order to drive broad platform adoption as well as the need for formal APIs. He'll also discuss why aligning roadmaps with the broader open source community are so critical and how enterprise customers, as fast followers, can extend resources for QA and performance improvements from this collaboration.
