Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Enterprise Open Source Session
From Open Source to Commercial Product and Back Again - The Ingres Story
From Open Source to Commercial Product and Back Again - The Ingres Story

By: Emma McGrattan
Jun. 5, 2006 02:00 PM

With more than 3 million lines of code and over 10,000 business critical deployments, how did Ingres take advantage of its roots as one of the earliest relational database management systems -- implemented as an open source project at UC Berkeley and 25-year closed source product history -- to make it the industry's best case study for today's open source developers looking to build tomorrow's corporate data center? This session will focus on Ingres's product rebirth and examine the technical lessons learned. From choosing the open source components from which to build a community site, to preparing and sanitizing the source code and evaluating build processes, SVP of Engineering Emma McGrattan will outline guiding principles for conquering skepticism about adopting an open source development and business model. Plus she'll discuss why even a million dollars can't win you over an open source community.
