LinuxCon Japan is the premiere Linux conference in Asia that brings together a unique blend of core developers, administrators, users, community managers and industry experts.
CloudOpen Japan is a conference celebrating and exploring the open source projects, technologies and companies who make up the cloud. It’s built on a belief that open works: for users, for industry and for technology.
Software is becoming more and more integrated into our lives and our society. It's become what we rely on to communicate with each other and also how we accomplish a large portion of our basic activities. Free and open source software is better, safer, often cheaper and always the right thing to do. But is there a difference based on how that software is created?
This talk will discuss the implications of our software being created by one company and 'thrown over the wall' versus a vibrant community effort and combinations of the two.
