Five year itch

There is currently a lot of buzz about all the "new" Open Source business models. At the end of May, I'll be speaking at the Holland Open conference on "surviving the five year itch", which is basically the story of what I've been doing in the past five years when it comes to Open Source business. A version of the presentation - which hopefully is understandable enough just with the slides - is here.

Matthew,

really great stuff. You've summarized in a few world years of experience :-)

I've noticed optaros, spikesource and sourcelabs in you slides. Why did you put them there? Do you think they can make it?

What they are giving back to the community is not clear..

Cheers,

Denis
