The Future of Open Source Looks like Cloud (Keynote)
summary
Claim: cloud doesn’t eat open source, it enables it — cloud removes per‑server licensing friction so projects scale. Evidence: 10,000 contributors on Drupal after using AWS, Envoy grows with roughly 40% of code from Google, Redis adds encryption and gains a new five‑maintainer governance, and seven of the top ten contributors are cloud companies. Numbers: global IT spend ~$3.9T with cloud at 266 billion, and open source companies (MongoDB, Databricks) show healthy revenue from cloud services.
