Abstract:
In this talk, Google's Chris DiBona will talk about the direction that Open Source has taken over the last few years, where it has been succeeding, where it has failed and how the IETF has impacted adoption. As part of this, he'll talk about the spread of Android and Chromium codebases and what it has meant for the industry. Questions will be answered! What do open standards mean without open source? What does open source switches and routers mean for the future of the internet? SDN is software...open source software? Is open daylight a thing?
