ApacheCon NA 2015

Do you know the different interpretations of “free”? If you’re in open source, you should. In this talk we’ll take a walk down memory lane in roughly the past 20 years of open source, how what “open source” means has changed and evolved, and how companies have in some senses co-opted it rather brilliantly to what I would say is our detriment. Gain some insight into the history of our beloved industry through the thoughts of those who were there to create it, the philosophical ideas that powered it, and how those ideas have both evolved and been in some ways subtlety manipulated in the years since.
