My Presentation in Hawaii: FOSS is Sun's Software Strategy

I finally got around to sending a copy of the presentation I delivered back in January at PFOSSCON '07  to Julian.  He wasted no time in posting it so if you want to check it out here it is.  In it I explain at a high level why a company like Sun would choose FOSS as its software strategy, what changes it requires within the company and how it has evolved out of a core value of ours: sharing.  I then end by presenting three case studies, the freeing of Solaris, UltraSPARC and Java technology -- Sun's three most significant intellectual assets.


Pau for now...

It's nice to know that you are using StarOffice 8 to create these pdf slides. Good job & thanks!

Excellent presentation! I was just wondering where Open Office falls into place, as it is a descendant of Sun's Star Office? Mahalo, Dave

Wayne, glad you liked it. Yep, StarOffice/OpenOffice are all I use :)

Dave, StarOffice was free'd (open sourced) in 2000 and OpenOffice is the resulting free software version. Mahalo.
