Toward an Economy of Open Abundance: Why FLO funding needs donor coordination and how to do it
Просмотров 11Месяц назад
There are four categories of economic goods: private goods, club goods, commons, and public goods. FLO (Free/Libre/Open) software and other similarly-licensed digital works are public goods - meaning they are open and abundant. So, they don't fit our market economy which relies on the opposite - scarcity and exclusion. Forcing software into the standard economic system leads to reliance on payw...
Navigating Dependancy Abonadonment

Many developers relying on open-source digital infrastructure expect continuous maintenance, but even the most critical packages can become unmaintained.

We did two research studies to addre...

    The snarky, side comments about Canonical and joking about the name of a plane used by Mark Shuttleworth, are disingenuous and not really embracing the work that the community has done, many employed by Canonical, as a whole. The additional sarcastic comment about "Canonical's goal is to disrupt RHEL" is not only flat-out incorrect, but also paints Canonical as _competing_ with Red Hat. They're not, except as viewed in the eyes of Red Hat themselves. Let's stick to facts, please.

    I am sorry, any panel where Oracle is put on stage to defend open source principals and is put up as some sort of voice of open source, loses credibility with me. A company who is opportunistic and selective, on open source, bashing a company that open sources every product they either help create, or acquire, feels weird to me. In my view, two of the panelists have an undeserved arrogance about the topic, and the other two are more balanced and reasonable. I hope the members of the panel in aggregate can try to add up how many open source related jobs they have helped create, and compare that to what Red Hat has done. All the anger and barbs seem pretty misplaced to me. To B Kuhn specifically, it appears you have found a way to get paid to be an open source purist, and Jeremy A to some extent, but the number of paid positions that are viable to be a purist are small and rare - you seem to want Red Hat and everyone to follow your lead. If Rocky or Alma or Oracle Linux success reduced Red Hat revenue, and those 3 are able to hire 10, 20 or 30 people and Red Hat lays off 100’s, how is that good for open source? I feel this group, and anyone who agrees with their viewpoints, need to be more balanced in the response approach - no one is stopping CIQ, CloudLinux or Oracle from creating their own Linux version like AWS, Microsoft and others. Don’t see how they are so righteous when they could build a business on open source and add new value - not just take the value someone else created and give it to people for free - I feel like people need to get real already…. They say that Red Hat builds on the work of others who contribute to the Linux modules that they use - and I say great. That is what AWS does also with their Linux, and these 3 companies on the panel should do also if they want to respectably be in the Linux business, which they appear to want to be.

  • @griznog
    @griznog Год назад

    It's always been true that using a downstream rebuild, even if just a naive rebuild of Redhat srpms, was an improvement for me simply due to avoiding time/effort around how Redhat wants me to manage licensing, subscriptions, systems, etc. just by letting me decline to manage systems in the way they insist. I use all three of Alma, Oracle and Rocky and luckily for me the changes in Redhat's stance on this has led not to these being weaker options, as Redhat would imply, but to them adding features and support that improve "Enterprise Linux" and which in some cases I can't get from RHEL. Ironically Redhat has, through its apparent attempts to extract the maximum subscription revenue possible, created a rich ecosystem of alternatives that I believe will be even richer as they shake off the shackles of "bug for bug" compatibility and each embrace building a better EL than RHEL and share their work with the ecosystem. It seems like Redhat is self-destructing here by creating competitors that are more interested in addressing customer needs than just extracting raw revenue via any method possible, and I for one am fine with them self destructing and I suspect the panel will be happily hiring when the Redhat layoffs start (maybe not the future-former Redhat management...). I'd love for the groups on this panel to come together and publish an open EL standard which could track RHEL in "good enough" mode while not being limited by it.

    • @williambickel4766
      @williambickel4766 Год назад

      I feel like Red Hat as a commercial company is built on, and aligned with “commercial open source”, which is monetizing open source technologies, and hiring people to work on, and sell them. They created many thousands of open source related jobs, and provided a potential model for other companies to do the same. It seems to me that most of the people complaining about Red Hat, mainly with a “purist” open source mentality, have done little to help people get paid to participate in open source. Some of the loudest people, with you being one, and Bradley K from this video, being one, maybe have figured out how to make a living talking about open source. That is 2 people total being paid to support themselves and/or their families. Feels to me like you should think about this before asking Red Hat to revert to a model where they were unprofitable (the pre-RHEL model of the late 1990’s and early 2000), when they employed a couple of hundred people and were losing money.

    • @JeffGeerling
      @JeffGeerling Год назад

      @@williambickel4766 I believe Red Hat were still profitable in those early days, though once the VC money came in, there was a time period where they spent more than they took in to grow, but then they ramped that into *billions* in profits annually... To the point that, despite laying off 4% of their workforce last quarter, they were one of the few bright spots in IBMs quarterly earnings, with Red Hat revenues increasing 11% quarter-to-quarter. That's astounding, considering the source code changes didn't impact earnings last quarter. For many years, Red Hat could have their cake, and eat it too. I want to know how they are having so much trouble paying devs to do open source work when profits are still increasing faster than inflation?

    • @williambickel4766
      @williambickel4766 Год назад

      Not sure if you are trying to hold Red Hat to a profitability or growth maximum? As if there is a standard model to stay as an open source purist company, with the full spirit of open source. Maybe Bradley K has written about this, as it seems there is some secret/magic formula here ? Maybe the Oracle guy can tell us how it should really work if he is on the panel as a guide to open source spirit adherence… Would you suggest that RH agree to only grow 1% per year and have no more than 5% profit maximum. (Or plug in your numbers)? There seems to me this really odd standard of people making money from open source (all 4 people on this panel, and yourself as I understand it), crying that Red Hat makes more than enough money. While I would guess if any of you 5 were offered pay to write a book or a movie on open source you would all jump at it.

    There seems to be more of an emphasis on the GPL and Software Freedom in this discussion than any technological advantages GNOME 3 may have over other Desktop Environments for Linux. It is great that it is Free and in Freedom, but I'd rather use most other DE's simply because they almost always require less RAM and Processing power in comparison and my current laptop is a bit low-end. My own personal biases aside, I think there should be more of a focus more on technical advantages than just open source politics because I still can't seem to get what is great about GNOME 3. Perhaps someone who uses it on a regular basis would be a better advocate.
