Your stack or my stack?
The Open Source stack market, currently dominated by SpikeSource, looks set to heat up soon. Novell are going to announce tested stacks, similar to those offered by SpikeSource. I also heard some rumblings from other Open Source vendors planning similar offerings at LinuxTag.
I'm sure the stacks will differ in some ways, but it is going to mean that customers looking for a tested "collection" of Open Source components are going to get really confused as to which stack they should be using (and which vendor they want to lock themselves into). Companies providing these stacks will need to show that they offer more value than just bundling together some Open Source components and sticking a "tested by us" label on the resulting package.
