High-productivity through interactivity
Open Source Conference
I just came across Matt Raible's report on the OSCON'08.
A couple of tidbits from that post:
IT jobs are 2.3% of all jobs posted, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Technology oriented companies (e.g., Google, Yahoo, Sun) make heavy use of Open Source (40% of all jobs posted by Y!). Open source is growing faster in non-tech companies. Of the open source technologies in the enterprise, the highest share of jobs is Linux (19%), followed by Perl, JavaScript and PHP. As far as the fastest growing, Django and Alfresco are at the top.
Three Big Challenges and Opportunities:
1- Cloud Computing
2- The (Open) Programmable Web
3- Open Mobile
And a really good one liner: Web 2.0 is Sharecropping!
It is clear that the internet will permiate everything we do. The statistics that non-tech companies are adopting open source more quickly than tech companies is very interesting to me and conforms to my own experience. I don't like that trend one bit since history shows that if you are not defining the future you will become irrelevant.
