OSCON 2010 is ended few weeks ago … and I’m still organizing all the inputs, contacts and comments I’ve collected …
During the exhibition days I had the opportunity to present what we are doing in QualiPSo (and if you’ve been there you know how much crowded our booth has been). Thanks to that I’ve met many people that shared with me their point of view, personal knowledge and experience about product and process quality. Some of them expressed their needs to improve what they have (at the moment) in terms of product life-cycle management introducing mandatory (and automatic when it’s possible) checks for the code they produce. Another particular aspect that somehow was always part of the discussion is the one about license (compatibility, obligations, …), and from what I heard, I noticed that the growing adoption of licenses, such as AGPL, combined with the Cloud explosion, makes integrators and service providers to act more carefully concerning this topic.
Anyway, I have to say that cloud is for sure the key word of this OSCON edition. The Cloud computing, with a dedicated summit, and many editors presenting their cloud-flavor products, has been certainly at the center of the discussions.
Just one more thing, I think you can spend five minutes here: Speaker Slides & Video … for sure you’ll find one or two of your interest.
… to close this post, a link that testify my presence at OSCON
ps: the image used for this post shows one of the (social) whiteboards used at OSCON to improve the interaction between people … very funny idea.
