Latest Trends in OSS Adoption
summary
An industry survey classifies open-source software (OSS) adoption into five stages and reports that OpenStack and Big Data stacks (Hadoop, Solr/search) are moving from proof‑of‑concept to production use; OpenStack in particular has reached thousands of users within about 3.5 years. The report provides per‑project community maturity metrics and practical guidance: choose a fixed version for multi‑year support, measure mailing‑list and developer activity, base adoption decisions on workload scale and cost structure (not hype), notes Swift for commodity storage use, and warns OSS is not always cheaper.
