Open Source software is about more than just a licence. It is also about a software development methodology that allows companies to share resources and collaborate on non-core parts of their software/service offering. When managed well, open development enables a reduction in cost, and an increase in innovation as a result of the convergence of the best minds in the problem space. In this presentation, Bertrand Delacretaz will describe how Day Software has embraced open development by positioning itself as the leader in both open standards and Open Source software. He will examine how Day's active engagement with 25 open source projects and numerous standards groups has enabled the company to become a world leader in its market and in the Open Source projects it participates in.
