Open Source in the Age of Change
summary
Open source must stop selling abstract ideals and start solving enterprise pain points: Cloud Foundry exists as a service project commercialized by IBM SAP Pivotal and VMware and supported by AWS Azure GCP, showing a model that integrates with commercial clouds rather than opposes them. Enterprises cannot track every library so projects should build bridges to adjacent ecosystems and bake change into DNA by treating code as replaceable. When accepting PRs prioritize technical validity plus 30 seconds of empathy for adopters.
