Open Source meet held in Bangalore
A two-day conference of open source developers was organised by Red Hat in City. It was attended by around 800 developers.
According to Red Hat, making open source solutions to cater to large number of mobile users amongst the enterprise is its goal as also for the developer community at large.
JBoss Evangelist & Director for Middleware at Red Hat, Ray Ploski, noted that there was much momentum towards open source and open standards when it came to cloud. JBoss Users & Developers Conference (JUD Con) is hosting the conference for the first time in India.
JBoss, open source application server, has been used widely by the enterprise and would be one of many open source technology that is set for rapid adoption in the cloud.
Ploski said they are working through “complex” transformation from traditional PC based computing in enterprises to a more mobile based model epitomised by ‘bring your own device’ concept. Says the New Relic survey, 80 per cent companies prefer open source Java based application servers like Apache TomCat, Jetty and JBoss across five major business segments — business software, consumer internet, e-commerce, gaming and social web.
