Under the Hood: Open Source Business Models in Context
Stephen R. Walli, Consultant
People debate regularly about whether or not open source software is
"good for business," and how one makes money on something given away
"for free." They raise concerns over the commoditization effects and
portray a gloomy future where open source software will "eat its way"
up a stack of functionality until software is valueless.
This talk looks at historical open source companies, then steps back
to look under the hood at a broader business context for the dynamics
at work to provide a business model for open source software. Part of
the story behind Microsoft's community projects will be told along the
way.

Linux and JPL's Mars Exploration Rover Project: Earth-based
Planning, Simulation, and Really Remote Scheduling
Scott Maxwell and Frank Hartman, NASA JPL
NASA/JPL's Mars Exploration Rover project is the first time a
JPL flight project has used Linux systems for critical mission
operations. Scott Maxwell and Frank Hartman, two of MER's
rover drivers, also wrote the Rover Sequencing and
Visualization Program (RSVP), the Linux-based software used on
Earth to drive Spirit and Opportunity. Scott and Frank will

experiences using Linux to drive two vehicles across the
Martian terrain, a hundred million miles from Earth.
