Today, open source is a powerful force of innovation. It is the very heart of the Internet, both the servers that drive it and the devices that connect to it. Open source is the digital lifeforce of smart phones, smart TVs, smart watches, tablets, phablets, cameras, light bulbs, 3D printers, in-flight entertainment, cars, IoT, crypto currencies, big data, AI, and more. In 2010, people started to declare open Photo credit: OpenStack Superuser source had "won", as corporate adoption passed the 50% mark, on toward 80% in subsequent years. Yet, we still have much to learn. We're learning more about how to grow and maintain healthy communities, especially at scales of thousands of contributors. We're learning the best ways for companies to participate beneficially in open source projects, and at the same time the best ways to explain beneficial participation. We're learning to let go of the quest for the holy grail of a perfect "open source business model", and set our sights on the greater quest: if all software was open source, then every business model involving software would be an open source business model. That may sound unlikely, but reflect on the fact that the value for customers has never been in the few hundred characters of text granting them a "proprietary license" to the software, that's just not what they're paying for. Customers pay for solutions to problems, they pay for support, services, content, assurance of security and reliability, for lessening the pain of consuming technology through software and hardware integration, long-term stable updates, or software deployed as a service (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, etc). The proprietary license never really had any value at all, it was merely an illusion. More and more companies are realizing this, whether they're in the business of selling technology, or in a business enabled by technology. As I look to the future, the potential to transform the software industry looms large, but the potential to change lives for the better looms even larger. The core principle of open source is software freedom, which is user freedom, and freedom for human beings. Open source is more than just a force of innovation, it is a force for humanitarian good. From software that runs medical clinics, to software that tailors inexpensive 3D-printed prosthetic limbs, to software revolutionizing the clothing industry with more humane methods of production and less waste, there are a million ways open source makes lives better. We've only touched the beginning of what's possible. Here's to the next 30 years of software freedom! UPDATE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER Hello again! As I expect you all feel too, with open source development and innovation happening so fast and across so many fields of endeavor, it’s always a bit surprising when we step back and find another year has passed. We’ve seen tremendous growth, in both open source awareness and adoption, and also in maturity across the broader IT sector. As open source has taken hold, organizations are now beginning the important work of integrating Patrick Masson, General Manager and operationalizing internal processes and practices to leverage the value of not only open source software and communities, but the open ethos as well. In the U.S., the Federal Source Code Policy and resulting Code.gov initiative highlight the continued investment by governments around the world to increase their pace of innovation, reduce costs, improve quality and eliminate redundancy to improve services to their citizens. Bulgaria, China, France, India, Italy, Lithuania, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and local governments in Bern, Boston, Nantes, New York, Paris, Pesaro, San Francisco, Turin, Umbria, Valencia, and many more, are reaching out to the OSI and our Affiliate Members to understand best practices in development, address licensing concerns, build community and—as we might expect from those threatened by, or looking to take advantage of, continued adoption—address FUD, and ensure authenticity. I am so grateful and inspired by the continuous support and enthusiasm from across the globe for our mission and our work. Over 2016 we’ve enjoyed significant interest and growth in our Affiliate Program, Working Groups and Incubator Projects from organizations around the world working in a variety of fields. Importantly this has been driven, not only by those new to or just entering the open source software community, but also by highly experienced users shifting to roles as developers, or active contributors now spinning up their own projects. For me, this highlights the importance of an evolving role with the OSI—responding to the needs of a maturing movement —while holding fast to our core mission: to educate about and advocate for the benefits of open source software, and to build bridges among different constituencies.
