Based on my experience the reasons tend to be: they don’t have the talent in house to support OOS solutions, they have a ton of in house talent so they want to write their own (project direction control, competitive edge), or they simply haven’t been convinced of the OSS benefits yet.

If not for the cost-savings, but for the security? It just seems baffling to me that so many companies would rather blow through their coffers on proprietary solutions (and the off-site support department) when OSS would be so much more convenient. I guess that’s why I’m not a CEO, eh? ;)

I made a strong push at the session for the training materials to be licensed in a CC, non-ND, non-NC license. Since there are so many companies involved I think OpenStack may succeed here – less because there is some kind of “company vs community” thing, but more that there is an idea of “community is made up of a bunch of big companies and no one has full control.” They may all want access to things freely, and potentially have resources to devote to it.

I would to love to see any commercial/community effort succeed. I hope someday the commercial side managers realize the community is not competition but collaborators and the business models need to be adjusted accordingly. It CAN work; no need for strict copyright limitations on materials that are outdated with each new release or update. smh]]> “In the afternoon I went to a session about Certification and Training programs. It was interesting to hear that there has been discussion in the OpenStack community about some kind of certification program and very early stage ideas floating around for development and deploying training. I also got to share some of my own experiences with the now defunct Ubuntu Certified Professionals course and the largely unsuccessful community efforts around developing classes. Deirdré of Joyent shared some of her experience about the in-house work they’ve done developing and doing training on products on and around their technologies.”
