1 Towards a Standard Model of Open Computing LinuxCon North America - August 9 th, 205 Adam Jollans, Cross-IBM Linux and Open Virtualization Strategy, IBM 205 IBM Corporation

2 Fundamental Components of Matter Molecules Atoms Electrons and Nucleus Protons and Neutrons Quarks Ø Standard Model of Particle Physics IBM Corporation

3 Fundamental Components of Open Computing? Stacks eg LAMP, Linux Distributions Foundations eg Apache Foundation Projects eg Hadoop Sub-projects eg OpenStack Nova IBM Corporation

4 Creation Innovation Individual Small group University IT Vendor Customer Existing Community Starting new project or subproject Splitting of project Open sourcing of existing code Contribution to open source community IBM Corporation

5 Forces Same Project eg Linux Same Community eg Apache, Eclipse Default Usage eg LAMP Stack Open Source IBM Corporation

6 Decay Forking eg MySQL => MariaDB Acquisition eg Xen => Citrix Change of Leadership eg resignation of Benevolent Dictator for Life Technology Shifts eg Symbian => Android IBM Corporation

7 Exclusion Principle Can multiple projects occupy the same niche? Gnome & KDE MySQL & MariaDB OpenStack & CloudStack Industry Forces Concurrent Innovations Forking Critical mass of Community Ecosystem support IBM Corporation

8 Quantum Numbers Size of Community Developers Corporate Members Openness 0 single organization controlling - open community with multiple contributors foundation with open governance Spin 0 no marketing - single vendor marketing open marketing community Market Adoption Downloads Usage IBM Corporation

9 XtraLarge Projects and Open Communities 200 study by Henrik Ingo into popular open source projects, comparing governance models vs size of community 9 projects (Linux, KDE, Apache, Eclipse, Perl+CPAN, Mozilla +Addons, Gnome, Drupal and GNU) stood out as significantly larger - roughly 0 times - than any others All of these projects, categorized as "XtraLarge", were developed as collaborative community projects governed by non-profit foundations There appears to be a glass ceiling limiting the growth of the Large single-vendor projects (MySQL, Qt, OpenOffice, Mono, JBoss) Henrik Ingo IBM Corporation

10 The LAMP Stack Popular solution stack for dynamic web applications Built out of fundamental components Linux Apache HTTP server MySQL Database PHP / Python / Perl Scripting language All open source building blocks Various forces linking components together Components are interchangeable Python, Perl, MariaDB, Evolved rather than designed Perl Python PHP 7 members 7 members 7 members MySQL 0? developers Apache 4 committers Linux 249 members IBM Corporation

11 Linux Kernel Operating System Kernel Active Development Contributions Over 3,500 individual developers Over 200 companies Linux Foundation Board of Directors 249 Corporate Members Professional Team Marketing Activities - events, publications, blogs Independent Technical Leadership Fellows Market Adoption 5.6% market share new physical servers Linux 3597 contributors Linux Kernel Development - How Fast is it Going, Who is Doing It, What Are They Doing and Who is Sponsoring the Work Linux Foundation 205 IBM Corporation

12 Apache HTTP Server Web Server Development Contributions 8 original core contributors Today - contributors, committers, PMC Apache Software Foundation Board of Directors Volunteer Leadership Consensus, collaborative approach Events subcontracted to Linux Foundation Independent Technical Leadership Project Management Committees Market Adoption 37.5% cumulative market share 327 million servers August 205 Web Server Survey Netcraft - Apache 3 contributors IBM Corporation

13 MySQL Relational Database Development Contributions Originally developed by MySQL AB Ownership Copyright held by vendor Dual licensing GPL and proprietary MySQL AB acquired by Sun Sun acquired by Oracle MySQL 5.5 forked into MariaDB (GPL only) Market Adoption Second most popular relational database MySQL 0? contributors DB-Engines Ranking IBM Corporation

14 Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects Goal: to spread the collaborative DNA of Linux to new fields to enable innovation and access for all. Criteria: that must be met in order for the Linux Foundation to host a Collaborative Project:. The use of open source governance best practices including license and contribution agreement choices in keeping with the ideals of Linux 2. The project must have the potential to fuel innovation in an industry through collaborative software development Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects IBM Corporation

15 Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects Framework for Platform-as-a-Service Server-side Runtime Environment Open Virtualization built on Linux Software Defined Networking Open Virtualization Hypervisor 5 Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects IBM Corporation

16 Apache Foundation Projects Framework for Big Data processing Framework for IaaS Cloud computing Document-oriented NoSQL database Cluster computing framework 6 Apache Projects Directory IBM Corporation

17 Black Duck Open Hub Black Duck Open Hub IBM Corporation

18 IBM LinuxOne Open Source Components LINUX YOUR WAY Distributions Hypervisors Languages Runtimes Management Database Analytics IBM Corporation

19 Hot Projects Framework for IaaS Cloud computing Tools for packaging and deploying applications in containers Relational database, forked from MySQL Document-oriented NoSQL database Distributed NoSQL database Configuration management tools Orchestration for Docker containers Open Compute Project sharing designs of data center projects Open Hardware IBM Corporation

20 OpenStack Software for IaaS Clouds Active Development Contributions Over 2,000 individual developers Over 500 companies OpenStack Foundation Board of Directors Technical Committee User Committee 25 Corporate Members 7 Corporate Sponsors 393 Supporting Organizations Professional Team Marketing Activities - events, publications, blogs OpenStack 257 contributors IBM Corporation

24 Future Directions Rise of Open Foundations Best practice governance Avoids decay or single vendor lock-in Architectural considerations Currently mainly point-to-point Multi-directional within Foundations Gaps Open x86 hardware Business applications Further work Refining quantum numbers Feedback invited Are the layers correct, what projects are missing?
