“The Future of Commercial Open Source Summary Report” offers rich insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by the industry. During this six-hour event the level of consensus reached by this very diverse group of expert participants was unexpected.” Said Andrew Aitken, Managing Partner at Olliance Group. Most notably, the participants recognized and acknowledged that while open source may come to represent a dominant commodity-computing model over the next several years, today it is still considered a disruptive force. Participants also agreed that by 2010 :

• Service revenue will be a much higher component of today’s large ISVs
• Open source will not be a business model in and of itself
• Open source will not be viewed as a software, but as an efficient means to develop and distribute software
• Open source standardization and commoditization will bring a shift in focus whereby function will become the single most important factor in software development
