Should you open source your next product? Pros and cons of going open source as a startup.
Building a company and open sourcing the code has become a popular strategy over the last couple of years, lots of money has been invested in Open Source companies, some of them became Unicorns, but the big question is: is anyone making money? Is this a good strategy? What are the pros and cons of open sourcing your product and what should you take into consideration? Which licenses should you think about? How do you monetize? What are some feasible exit strategies?
Extensions for today & beyond why you should be building the next generatio...Jonathan Beri
Extensions for today & beyond discussed building the next generation of Magento extensions. It provided statistics on the growth of the Magento extension marketplace and reasons developers should build extensions, including growing demand and opportunity. It previewed upcoming improvements to better support extensions, like Connect 2.0 and new developer tools to help test across Magento editions.
Open Source is now in day to day use in Governments across Europe – some with great success, but others are still using it to a degree well below its opportunity level. But why is this? Is it because of lack of understanding or trust, is it because of lack of political will or leadership, is it because it is just too difficult because of past technical decisions? Or all of these?
Are the blockers to progress technical, financial or political? Or all of these?
A new report to be published by the London School of Economics for the UK Government, and which will be previewed during the talk, examines the TCO of Open Source for Government, but also examines the wider drivers and opportunities. Maybe here are the clues on just how we can increase the momentum for its use across Government.
This document presents the results of a feasibility study on open source software migration in the public sector in Greece. The study analyzed three scenarios of minimal, basic, and massive migration across 15 municipalities. It calculated net present values and volatility for each scenario. Using real options analysis, it determined that the basic migration scenario had the highest net present value and lowest cost of waiting, making it the preferred approach over the other scenarios. The study concluded real options analysis provides an effective way to evaluate open source software migration given the uncertainties involved.
Open Source and Open Standards: at the heart of Cloud Strategy_Werner Knoblic...Paris Open Source Summit
The document discusses the powerful shift to enterprise open source and open standards in cloud computing over the last decade. It was written by Werner Knoblich, VP and General Manager for EMEA at an unknown company. The document is dated September 22, 2011.
OpenOffice.org can convert documents to the DAISY format using odt2daisy. DAISY is an accessible format for individuals with print disabilities. odt2daisy is open source software that converts OpenDocument files to the DAISY XML format. It supports navigation features, bookmarks, and text-to-speech playback on various hardware and software players across Windows, Mac, Linux and Solaris platforms. The presentation demonstrated odt2daisy's capabilities and encouraged participation in the project through bug reporting, localization, or documentation contributions.
Building an Open Source Application StrategyAcquia
The document discusses building an open source application strategy beyond just websites. It describes how content management systems and open source web applications can power robust applications with interactive and dynamic features using open standards. The document advocates for an open source approach that utilizes extractable platform services, shared hosting, and reusable features to provide low-cost scalability.
There are several open source business models that do not require traditional software licensing fees. Open source software has strengths like being free to deploy and modify, but also has weaknesses like lack of certification or guaranteed support. For commercial use, open source allows influencing development and integrating code freely, but carries risks if development stops or goes in unhelpful directions. The recommendation is for end users to utilize open source through local service organizations rather than directly.
1. A mobile app that sends location-based ads to users and gets companies to pay to send these micro-ads, though getting users to sign up for frequent ads may be challenging.
2. A collaboration app for enterprise IT departments to help solve problems and share solutions within their network.
3. A competitor to eBay that identifies common complaints on eBay and builds products to address them, possibly tapping eBay's API.

How to Market Your Startup to the EnterpriseWork-Bench
BetterCloud's VP of Marketing Taylor Gould presented on how to market a startup to the enterprise. He discussed BetterCloud's growth timeline from research and prototype development to beta launch and significant feature releases. He outlined their focus on solving real problems for users and building advocacy. Gould also covered BetterCloud's marketing tactics, including focusing on SEO as a foundation and using a freemium model. Finally, he explained how BetterCloud markets to both users and purchasers, using different content approaches for each.
The document provides guidance on how to successfully create and develop an open source software project. It discusses important factors like building an active community, transparency in the development process, effective communication, and releasing software early and often. It also addresses questions around starting a company based on open source software, including different business models, funding options, and goals for the company. Overall, the document offers best practices and considerations for initiating and sustaining an open source project both as a software product and as a business venture.
The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology for building startups. It advocates for continuous customer feedback through minimum viable products, rapid experimentation via split testing, and addressing problems through root cause analysis using the Five Whys technique. The Lean Startup approach aims to shorten development cycles and learn quickly through frequent releases and measurement in order to improve the chances of success for startups.
The document summarizes a talk given by Terry Nolen and Dave Gebhart from Sabre Holdings about establishing an open source development community within a traditionally closed source company. Some key points:
- They founded an open development community at Sabre to encourage innovation and productivity in a way that aligns with open source concepts.
- Setting up the community involved gaining management support, combining existing small communities, establishing processes, and using available technology while complying with corporate standards.
- For the community to succeed it requires communicating its existence widely, using rewards to motivate contributors, and expecting a varied set of projects that will grow the community over time.
The document provides an executive overview of MetaNotes, an online note-taking platform. It discusses MetaNotes' brand promise and features, a three-phase revenue model focused initially on virtual goods and advertising before moving to subscriptions and a marketplace model, and plans to market specifically to students and cross the chasm to broader adoption. Key goals include securing early beachheads in target user segments and becoming the market leader in note-taking.
How to Build and Finance Very Successful Start Ups the coming 10 yearsMike Mastroyiannis
The document discusses new approaches for building and financing startups in the next 10 years. It argues that the traditional product creation process is too slow and rigid for today's faster-changing markets. The key is to adopt an iterative process that involves customers early and often to test assumptions and validate the business model.
The new process focuses on customer development through four phases: 1) customer discovery to define the business model hypotheses, 2) testing the problem by getting customer feedback, 3) testing the product/solution with a minimum viable prototype, and 4) verifying the business model and deciding to change or proceed. The goal is to rapidly iterate based on customer input to achieve product-market fit and a repeatable, scalable
Brad Hoover "Differences between building a consumer vs. enterprise product"Agile Base Camp
Enterprise software product development requires extensive upfront design and prototyping with customer input. It focuses on gaining credibility with reference customers and expanding features for broader appeal. Sales forces can overcome objections. Consumer products require exceptional products that can sell without speaking through fluid interfaces and speedy iterations to test hypotheses and infer user needs. They benefit from co-located product and engineering teams for rapid communication. Both approaches share a focus on clear goals and feedback to create optimal product-market fit.

It also covers analytics, virality, revenue models of advertising, subscription, and transactions.
An Analysis Of Open Source Business ModelsSandra Long
An open source business model summary:
1) Open source software is developed by a community of volunteers who freely share the source code. This allows many developers to improve the product at low cost.
2) Companies can build businesses around open source software in several ways - by distributing the software, providing support services, or developing proprietary products that incorporate open source code.
3) The main business models are distributors (who sell support for open source software), software producers (who develop proprietary products using open source components), and third party service providers (who offer paid support for open source projects). These models generate revenue from support contracts, software/service sales, and consulting.
I curated this list with proven, actionable growth marketing campaigns that are worth trying by every product owner. Ideas that will bring you leads on a regular basis, for long-term relations.
This document provides marketing best practices for OpenERP partners. It recommends focusing on generating quality content to attract visitors and leads rather than direct sales. Key rules include using content marketing, multi-channel communication, promoting achievements, and leveraging the OpenERP brand. Successful partners publish documentation, modules, videos and more to gain visibility and attract new business opportunities. Case studies show how partners can work with OpenERP to promote their solutions through blogs, forums and apps.org for maximum exposure.

Early Stage Product Development - Incubadora SinergiaRiley Maguire
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on early stage product development by Des Traynor of Intercom. It discusses focusing products on solving real user problems, starting simply and refining over time. Products should provide clear value for customers rather than founders. Features can dilute focus, so it's important to understand user jobs and remove unnecessary steps. Distribution costs are decreasing, so startups must compete globally and stay focused on core value to remain defensible.
The document provides an overview of the content marketing journey and experiences of Julius. It begins with Julius being unexpectedly tasked with developing training guides by his manager, despite having no prior experience. It then showcases some examples of Julius' work, including explaining grant payments features for charities, error messages, sales campaigns, and email copy. The document aims to demonstrate Julius' range of content marketing skills and experiences.

How to Build a Big Data Application: Serverless Editionecobold
Come learn how to build, launch, and scale a Big Data application in a serverless context. This is going to be an information packed meetup around Big Data processing, Lambda functions, Lambda Step functions, and everything that ties them together.
Big Data is something we're very passionate about. As the cost of servers have come down and the cost of software has become free, using data to drive your business has become much more obtainable to a larger group of companies. The serverless methodology has recently come in the scene, and it's proving to be just as transformational as cloud has been to the Big Data analytics space. We will be sharing some of our learnings and experiences over the last two years of working with Big Data in a serverless context. We will cover one or two examples of eventful Big Data processing, and the impact it can have on your business in terms of speed of analytics and cost savings to the bottom line.
Understanding what metrics are relevant to your startup, and why, can be a daunting task. In this meetup we will discuss what metrics matter for a SaaS company or project. What investors are looking for in the metrics you track and why do they think they are important. What is CAC and LTC, why is CHURN critical? We will also review how to calculate these important metrics, what equations will give you the right answer, and what tools make sense to use for your business.

The "Zen" of Python Exemplars - OTel Community DayPaige Cruz
The Zen of Python states "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." OpenTelemetry is the obvious choice for traces but bad news for Pythonistas when it comes to metrics because both Prometheus and OpenTelemetry offer compelling choices. Let's look at all of the ways you can tie metrics and traces together with exemplars whether you're working with OTel metrics, Prom metrics, Prom-turned-OTel metrics, or OTel-turned-Prom metrics!
Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.
The Strategy Behind ReversingLabs’ Massive Key-Value MigrationScyllaDB
ReversingLabs recently completed the largest migration in their history: migrating more than 300 TB of data, more than 400 services, and data models from their internally-developed key-value database to ScyllaDB seamlessly, and with ZERO downtime. Services using multiple tables — reading, writing, and deleting data, and even using transactions — needed to go through a fast and seamless switch. So how did they pull it off? Martina shares their strategy, including service migration, data modeling changes, the actual data migration, and how they addressed distributed locking.

5. Pros
Huge adoption
Exposure / Free marketing*
Raises profile of founders through media
Volunteer technical resources from community
Easier to get funding, but only with adoption number
* Can be good or bad
6. Cons
Users not using product properly & ranting about it: hackernews,
blog posts, etc
Engineers that join for love of open source have a hard time with
monetization
People associate product as free
Hard to monetize on support only, especially if your product “works
great, we’ve never had any problems, thank you!!”
Internal war between teams on what improvements should be
open sourced vs paid for
Bigger/smaller companies providing your product as a service and
making money from it - i.e. Open container project
7. Cons (cont’d)
Renewal churn rate very high on support-only model, as
people gain knowledge of product overtime
Balancing when offering free support to free users, so
companies are successful. i.e. an incredibly large company
is using for a customer facing project, they run into a major
issue that brings them down for hrs, they think the problem is
with your product, not the way them implemented. What do
you do? Fix issues? Let them fail and see a blog post on
hacker news the next day about how much your product
sucks?
Will likely change CEO’s & founding team as early execs are
focused on adoption & it’s not clear where to draw the line
towards monetization
Will upset some users when charging a lot for one feature
they’re interested in
8. To Take Into Consideration
License: VERY important (Apache vs AGPL).
- Commercial license that you’d be able to sell under
AGPL would allow your customer company to modify your
code & NOT have to open source it. This is important for large
enterprises. Your customer will have to pay you for that license,
otherwise they will have to open source their own changes to
your code. This is not applicable under Apache license.
How do you keep momentum within the company while
trying to achieve mass adoption
Other companies that can fork your code and compete
against you
9. How to Monetize
Make clear differentiation between free vs paid product
(i.e. Mulesoft, Pentaho)
What did RedHat do right?
10. Exits
Most have been acquired: Sourcefire $2.4B, Novell $2.1B,
MySQL $1B - all AGPL
A couple of IPO’s: Red Hat $10B, Hortonworks $1B – both
Apache
TBD: Cloudera, MongoDB, Docker, Datastax,
Elasticsearch
