Manage the Code, Manage the Device: Open Source Governance in Linux Embedded Systems
Today's abundance of consumer devices has given rise to the pervasiveness of embedded Linux systems. From the digital home and office to smartphones and tablets to automobiles with open source in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems, Linux-based software is connecting people and devices like never before. This growth in the embedded Linux marketplace has created a complex multi-source software supply chain as developers combine in-house developed packages with packages easily found on sites managed by various associations or groups, as well as individuals who offer free code. Learning how to manage the open source development process has become crucial to organizations' success and risk mitigation.

Redefining Code Reuse – Getting More Mileage Out of Your Existing Code Bases
Code reuse has been talked about for years, but how much code have you actually reused? Is code reuse fact or fiction? In this 45 min webinar, Chris Lucca, Technical Evangelist at AccuRev, and Dave Gruber, Director of Developer Marketing at Black Duck Software, will explore ways to get more mileage out of your existing code bases and the millions of lines of code locked up in source control systems around your organization. Specifically, you will learn about:
- The challenges to code reuse
- New approaches to code exploration, software "component-izing", and automatic code reuse
- How reuse can save you time and speed up your next project
Mobility and the Open Web: Open Standards and Collaboration Redefine Enterprise IT
Mobility is redefining how employees and customers interact with a company's products, applications and services. To address this technological and market shift, innovative IT organizations must leverage an abundance of resources, including open source components, development frameworks and "open web" technologies. And, perhaps most interesting, enterprises are embracing collaboration and creating their own developer "ecosystems" as a core element of their IT strategy.
Join Jeffrey Hammond, Principal Analyst, Forrester Research, and Black Duck Software to learn about how to leverage these important trends, technologies and development strategies.
Driving Innovation with Open Source – A View from the Automotive Industry
A recent survey of the European automotive industry revealed that, while free and open source software (FOSS) is even more pervasive in the development cycle than anticipated, the necessary FOSS governance processes are lacking, at best.
This webinar will provide important insights into the study results, including:
- How and why the automotive industry is looking to FOSS as a source of differentiation and competitive advantage
- The importance of proper governance and compliance processes, and key factors to consider when creating these processes
- The level of engagement automotive companies have within the broader open source community
Conducted by European-based management consultancy BearingPoint and scientifically guided by Professor Riehle, head of the Open Source Research Group at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, this first-of-its-kind survey includes responses from more than 25 leading automotive industry companies in eight countries. The project was sponsored by Black Duck Software. Webinar speakers will include Claus-Peter Wiedemann, Senior Manager, BearingPoint and Phil Odence, Vice President of Business Development, Black Duck Software.
Innovation durch Open Source beschleunigen – Einblicke in die Automobilindustrie
Thursday, March 29, 2012 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM CEST
Eine aktuelle Befragung von namhaften Unternehmen der Europäischen Automobilindustrie hat aufgezeigt, dass Free & Open Source Software (FOSS) im Entwicklungsbereich häufiger anzutreffen ist als erwartet, die nötigen Governance-Prozesse aber meist noch nicht die erforderliche Reife besitzen, die für einen durchgängig lizenzkonformen Einsatz von FOSS erforderlich wäre.
In diesem Webinar stellen wir die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der Studie vor und beantworten u.a. die folgenden Fragen:
- Hat die Automobilindustrie FOSS als wettbewerbsdifferenzierendes und strategisches Instrument erkannt?
- Wie steht es um die zentralen Governance- und Policy-Prozesse?
- Wie stark engagieren sich die befragten Unternehmen in Open Source Communities?
Die vom führenden europäischen FOSS Management Beratungshaus BearingPoint durchgeführte Umfrage wurde wissenschaftlich begleitet durch Prof. Riehle, Leiter des Lehrstuhls für Open Source an der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Mehr als 25 führende Automobil-Firmen aus acht Ländern haben sich an der Befragung beteiligt. Das Projekt wurde von Black Duck Software unterstützt. Die Referenten im Webinar sind unter anderem Claus-Peter Wiedemann, Leiter der FOSS Management Practice bei BearingPoint und Stefan Just, verantwortlich für das Zentraleuropageschäft von Black Duck Software.
Open Source – A Tale of Two Cities in the Mobile Enterprise
Date: Wednesday, March 21st
Time: 11:30am EST
On the one hand open source software is disrupting new elements of enterprise IT especially in the areas of cloud and mobile computing, making for an increasingly complex landscape for IT professionals to manage. On the other hand open source is also among potential solutions to many of the challenges created by this disruption.
In this webinar, 451 Research Senior Analyst Jay Lyman will highlight some of the biggest challenges and opportunities, for both end user organizations and providers, in the fast-changing world of open source and mobile software, devices and support. The webinar discussion will also focus on how coinciding trends, such as devops -- the blending of application development with IT operations -- and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) are helping to address some of the management and support challenges of the new mobile enterprise.
Open Source and Innovation: What Cloud Means For the Future
In recent years, cloud computing has experienced a dramatic increase in innovation around open source. When you talk to software vendors, it seems like every one of them has a different definition of cloud computing. But the cloud – and the choice of cloud provider – is something that users need to have choice and control over. Learn more about open source cloud innovation and how an open approach to CRM in the cloud offers a clearer path to success than a walled-garden approach.
Join us on March 27th for a lively discussion with SugarCRM's Co-Founder, CTO & VP of Product Strategy, Clint Oram, and Editor-in-Chief of CRM Outsiders, Chris Bucholtz. Don't miss this webinar, moderated by Andrew Aitken, GM & SVP of Olliance Group, where we'll explore:
- The evolution of the cloud and what it truly entails
- Characteristics that modern cloud applications should include
- Why the cloud means more customer choice, not less
- The future of open source cloud innovation
