This one day session at BT Centre in London explored the risks and benefits of open source. 

Phil Whitehouse, a member of [[Osmosoft]], [[blogged about the event|http://philwhitehouse.blogspot.com/2007/11/open-source-in-bt.html]]. He also [[uploaded several photos to Flickr|http://www.flickr.com/photos/philliecasablanca/sets/72157603247958469/]].

Two presentations from this event were uploaded to the web; first [[Doc Searls|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doc_Searls]] (who co-wrote the [[Cluetrain Manifesto|http://www.cluetrain.com/]] and is currently the Senior Editor of [[Linux Journal|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Journal]]) gave an excellent presentation on //Why All Business Will Be Based On Open Source//:

From the website: "~BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in ~BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. ~BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system."

~TiddlyWiki is a wiki packaged within a single html file, complete with all the content, the editing and saving functionality, search and tagging capabilities and much more. It can run locally from your hard drive (so it's great for taking notes or organising personal information) or it can sit on a server. It's very extensible; there are over 400 plugins developed by the [[TiddlyWiki community|http://groups.google.co.uk/group/TiddlyWiki]].

~TiddlyWiki is at the heart of BT's open source innovation endeavours. Find out more at the [[Osmosoft website|http://www.osmosoft.com]].

"Open source" is a term used to describe software where the underlying code (called 'source code') can be read not only by a computer, but also by a programmer. This is in contrast to proprietary software, which can usually only be read by a computer. Although this might seem like a minor distinction, the implications are significant, and fundamentally change the way that companies such as BT approach software development.

Open source code is typically made available because the people who originally wrote the code are content for other people to amend and improve the code to suit their needs. Because these improvements or expansions are often themselves returned to the public, the code base as a whole has the potential of growing in quality, quantity and function.

A distinction is sometimes made between open source software and free software. Free software is called free not because of cost, but more importantly because it comes with certain freedoms attached; the right to make amendments, the right to build a business around it, and so on. Open source often has these attributes as well, but sometimes there are restrictions in place. Nevertheless, the two models share enough characteristics that a collective term has gained traction; "FOSS" stands for "Free and Open Source Software".

An essential part of an open source project is the community which supports the code. These communities have their own organisational structures and social dynamics. An effective community is a hallmark of a successful open source project.

From the website: "Wireshark is the world's foremost network protocol analyzer, and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many industries and educational institutions.

Wireshark development thrives thanks to the contributions of networking experts across the globe. It is the continuation of a project that started in 1998."
