PART I

Free Open Source Software:What & Why?

Early software days

➢ In the 1950s and into the 1960s almost all software was produced by computer science academics and corporate researchers working in collaboration.

➢ Source code was generally distributed with the software

➢ IBM “SHARE” user group➢ Digital Equipment Computer Users' Society

(DECUS)

Source code: if encrypt(password) == encryptedpassword, then login=1, end

Compiled code: 00100101110101001100110000111101100011000111000110101

Open Letter to Hobbyists:

“Your sharing is stealing”

Bill Gates, 1976

Monopoly abuse

US justice department 1999:

“Microsoft is a monopolist and

it engaged in massive

anticompetitive practices

that harmed innovation

and limited consumer choice”

11

"The most fundamental way of helping other

people,is to teach people

how to do things betteror how to better their

lives.

For peoplewho use computers,this means sharing

the recipesyou use on your

computer,in other words

the programs you run."

12

1980's: Stallman defined“Free Software”

The freedom to

➢ use

➢ study

➢ distribute

➢ improve

the program

Free Software Licenses

➢ The freedoms are guaranteed and enforced by licenses, e.g.

➢ GNU GPL (General Public License)➢ The 4 freedoms + copyleft (share alike)➢ if binary offered, source code must be offered too

➢ (on request, at low cost)➢ must stay GPL.

➢ BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution)➢ Attribution➢ No copyleft requirements for distribution➢ BSD code often in closed source software (MS, Mac, ...)

➢ Apple Public Source License v2

1998: “Open Source” sounds better than “Free Software”?

15

The software Freedomsrequire access to the source code

→ “Open Source Software” (OSS)

Free Open Source Software (FOSS)Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS)

Source code: if encrypt(password) == encryptedpassword, then login=1, end

Compiled code: 001001011101010011001100001111011000110001110001101

Different kinds of softwareWithout software Freedoms – without source code

➢ Proprietary software (closed source – 'commercial')➢ $$$

➢ Shareware➢ trial versions: x days for free, afterwards $

➢ Adware➢ for free, with ads

➢ Freeware➢ for free (mostly small projects and often spyware!)

With software freedoms – with source code

➢ Free Software / Open Source Software➢ Free as in Freedom, not as in free beer

1991 comp sci student

Usenet posting to the newsgroup "comp.os.minix.":

“I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.”

6117 persons, 659 companieshave contributed to Linux kernel

20

Linus Torvalds

“Making Linux GPL'dwas definitelythe best thing I ever did.”

21

“Open Source ... it's just a superior way of working together and generating code.”

“Like science, Open Source allows people to build on a solid base of previous knowledge, without some silly hiding.”

“you can obviously never do as well in a closed environment as you can with open scientific methods.”

Linus Torvalds (2007-03-19). The Torvalds Transcript: Why I 'Absolutely Love' GPL Version 2.

"Congratulations, you're on the winning team.Linux has crossed the chasm to mainstream adoption."

➢ Jeffrey Hammond, principal analyst at Forrester Research, LinuxCon, 2010

“Linux has come to dominate almost every category of computing, with the exception of the desktop”

➢ Jim Zemlin, Linux Foundation Executive Director, 2011

“Linux is the benchmark of Quality”➢ Coverity Report 2012

Linux powers 92% of the top 500 Super Computers

Android, a mobile version of Linux,has overall largest market share

DevelopmentLinus Torvalds' style

Release early and often

Delegate everything you can

Be open to the point of promiscuity

Linus' Law"given enough eyeballs,all bugs are shallow."

Book published underOpen Publication License

19 lessons for open source development

Commercial development= Cathedral style

Open Source development= Bazaar style

44

The Cathedral and the Bazaarabout developers

1. Every good work of softwarestarts by scratching a developer's personal itch.

2. Good programmers know what to write.Great ones know what to rewrite (and reuse).

45

The Cathedral and the Bazaarabout users

6. Treating your users as co-developers is your least-hassle route to rapid code improvement and effective debugging.

7. Release early. Release often. And listen to your customers.

8. Given a large enough beta-tester and co-developer base,almost every problem will be characterized quicklyand the fix obvious to someone.

11. The next best thing to having good ideas is recognizing good ideas from your users. Sometimes the latter is better.

46

The Cathedral and the Bazaarabout development

17. A security system is only as secure as its secret.Beware of pseudo-secrets.

18. To solve an interesting problem,start by finding a problem that is interesting to you.

19. Provided the development coordinatorhas a medium at least as good as the Internet,and knows how to lead without coercion,many heads are inevitably better than one.

47

What does the competition say?

➢ Microsoft:

➢ “Linux is a cancer” (Steve Ballmer, CEO)➢ “Windows (Total Cost of Ownership) is cheaper than Linux”➢ “Linux violates at least 228 patents”➢ “GPL is viral”

48

What does the competition REALLY think?

➢ We get a good idea about what they really think from their “Halloween documents”, which comprise a series of confidential Microsoft memoranda on potential strategies relating to free software, open-source software, and to Linux in particular.

“Halloween Document I” (1998)Microsoft confidential memo:

➢ “OSS poses a direct, short-term revenue and platform threat to Microsoft, particularly in server space.”

➢ “Additionally, the intrinsic parallelism and free idea exchange in OSS has benefits that are not replicable with our current licensing model and therefore present a long term developer mindshare threat.”

➢ FUD tactics can not be used to combat it.

“Halloween Document I” (1998)Microsoft confidential memo:

➢ “Recent case studies (the Internet) provide very dramatic evidence ... that commercial quality can be achieved / exceeded by OSS projects.”

➢ “Linux and other OSS advocates are making a progressively more credible argument that OSS software is at least as robust -- if not more -- than commercial alternatives. The Internet provides an ideal, high-visibility showcase for the OSS world.”

➢ “OSS is long-term credible”

“Halloween Document II” (1998)Microsoft confidential memo:

➢ “Linux represents a best-of-breed UNIX, that is trusted in mission critical applications, and - due to it's open source code - has a long term credibility which exceeds many other competitive OS's.”

➢ “Most of the primary apps that people require when they move to Linux are already available for free. This includes web servers, POP clients, mail servers, text editors, etc”

➢ “Consumers Love It.”➢ “The effect of patents and copyright in combatting

Linux remains to be investigated.”

“Halloween Document VII” (2002)Microsoft confidential survey results:

➢ 81% were at least 'somewhat' familiar with OSS

➢ 78% of those had a favorable impression of OSS

➢ 77% were at least 'somewhat' familiar with Linux

➢ 86% of those had a favorable impression of Linux

➢ most compelling reasons to support OSS:➢ 40%: “Low total cost of ownership”➢ 34%: “Alternative to Microsoft”

“Halloween Document VIII” (2002)Microsoft confidential memo:

➢ Microsoft tries to develop an emergency-response team to cope with Linux conversion announcements

“Halloween Document X” (2004)Microsoft confidential memo:

➢ Shows how Microsoft gave money under the table to SCO to attack Linux with copyright claims.

➢ 2007 & 2010: court ruled that Novell, not SCO, is the rightful owner of the copyrights covering the Unix operating system.

➢ Novell announced "We don't believe there is Unix in Linux"

Column 3

Our social responsibility:how open is the future?

➢ "Africa can bridge the digital divide

➢ by adopting open source➢ thus narrowing the effect of techno-colonialism"

➢ “Need for technology

➢ that is controlled by local communities➢ and not by foreign companies,

➢ that is public property➢ and empowers people to be self-reliant”

Stay in control!

If you don't control the program,the program controls you!

Why?

Would you accepttools with these rules?

➢ You are forbidden to

➢ modify this paper-clip

➢ let other people use your hammer➢ use this hammer for removing nails

➢ tell others what is written in this book

Why do you accept such rules for software tools?

➢ You are forbidden to

➢ copy➢ reverse engineer➢ modify➢ use in certain circumstances➢ use in certain countries➢ ...

Stay secure!

You can't trust softwareif its source code is hidden

Why?

“Our products just aren’t engineered for security.”

Brian Valentine, Microsoft senior vice-president Windows Engineering, 2002

➢ From the European Parliament investigation into the Echelon system (05/18/2001):

“If security is to be taken seriously, only those operating systems should be used whose source code has been published and checked, since only then can it be determined with certainty what happens to the data.”

➢ Cryptographer, computer security expert Bruce Schneier:

“Secrecy and security aren't the same, even though it may seem that way. Only bad security relies on secrecy; good security works even if all the details of it are public."

“If researchers don’t go public, things don’t get fixed. Companies don't see it as a security problem; they see it as a PR problem.”

“Demand open source code for anything related to security”

The Borland Interbase example

➢ 1992-1994: Borland inserted intentional back door into Interbase (closed source database server) allowing local or remote users root access to the machine

➢ 07/2000: Borland releases source code (→ Firebird)

➢ 12/2000: Back door is discovered

Avoid:data lock in

vendor lock in

Improve interoperability

Why?

Secret data formatsSecret protocols

➢ Vendor and data lock-in

➢ (changes) force us/others to buy (and buy again)➢ → viral➢ vendors don't want us to talk together or to share data➢ vendors want us to use buy their products➢ no free competition➢ no guarantee eternal access

The (Unix) philosophy ofconnectable and reusable

modular components

→ best modules are most reused→ get most feedback

→ survival of the fittest→ quality

Why?

Modularity and lightweight solutionsallow to use small or old devices

Why?

Easy localization and customization

Why?

FLOSS tools aremost often cross-platform

"Seven open source business strategies for competitive advantage”John Koenig, IT Manager's Journal, 2004

“Companies continue to waste their development dollars on software functionality that is otherwise free and available through Open Source. They persist in buying third-party proprietary platforms or creating their own proprietary development platforms that deliver marginal product differentiation and limited value to customers”

Success in FLOSS requires you to serve➢ those who spend time to save money➢ those who spend money to save time -- Mårten Mickos, CEO MySQL

Software freedom allows you to tap into innovation power and network effects

otherwise not availableMårten Mickos, CEO MySQL

Better supportSupport is often core

of the FOSS business model+ fair competition of service providers

Easier troubleshootingBecause of transparency

Why?

1998: how it started

➢ In a Belgian University➢ many people were frustrated

by the inflexible, non-free elearning systems

they had to use

➢ Prof. dr. Thomas Depraetere➢ starts the Claroline e-learning platform➢ publishes it as Free Software➢ got grants for it

109

PART IV

Strategies for effective use of FOSSin academic environments

Reports on assignments

In your institution...➢ how much money is spent yearly on software

licensing?➢ how much effort (FTE) is put into license

management?➢ how much unlicensed software is in use?➢ which proprietary software is still in use?

What is the FLOSS policy of your country, institution, …?

Why are you not using(only) FLOSS?

Perceived barriers?

➢ Following the herd?

Perceived barriers?

pre-installation of non-free software

Perceived barriers?

➢ Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt about➢ features?➢ quality?➢ sustainability?➢ support?➢ requirement to participate in

the community?

Perceived barriers?

➢ anti-competitive behaviour➢ monopoly abuse➢ secret formats➢ secret protocols➢ data and vendor lock-ins

Perceived barriers?

➢ transition costs➢ limited in house expertise➢ plethora of choice?

When people can't judge the quality of something,they look at the price,

because they expect price and quality to be correlated

Perceived barriers?

What is infuencing

FLOSS useby school staf?

Context

➢ Belgian education is organized by communities

➢ Flanders: Flemish community / ministry of education

➢ Schools & teachers select software

➢ Government supports

➢ ICT coordinators

➢ FLOSS guide book

➢ Few FLOSS trainings

➢ Microsoft contract

Research methodology

➢ Interviews

➢ Model conceptualization

UTAUT model

Our conceptual model

Validated acceptance model for Free Software in (Flemish) schools

Do you think it is desirableto use FLOSS in education?

Which free softwaredo you use at school?

Which free/non-free softwaredo you use at school?

What is your motivationto use Free Software?

What is holding back theadoption of FLOSS in your school?

162

Conclusionsof the study

➢ FLOSS is being used, but not as a routine➢ Lack of knowledge➢ Misconceptions➢ (Perceived) barriers➢ Support needed!

163

Recommendationsof the study

➢ For (teacher education) schools➢ Develop FLOSS vision, plan, expertise➢ Teach students how to share

➢ For government and managing structures ➢ Give central role to ICT-coordinators➢ Create an expertise network➢ Improve FLOSS information➢ Define a FLOSS policy

164

Strategies for migration

165

0. Allow innovators &early adopters to use FLOSS

➢ Replace any institutional software incompatible with FLOSS.

166

1. Organize yourself

➢ Institutional FLOSS expertise center?➢ Interuniversity FLOSS expertise center?➢ FLOSS user group?➢ ...

167

2. Create awareness

➢ Involve all stakeholders➢ Including

➢ highest management➢ teachers➢ students

168

3. Expertise & capacity building

➢ Resources for experimentation & innovation

169

4. Provide support & sustainability

➢ Offer➢ FLOSS repository➢ local downloads of recommended FLOSS?

➢ Caveat: updates➢ documentation➢ training

→ certification

5. Establish institutionalFLOSS policies

➢ Purchasing policies➢ FLOSS, except if no good alternative➢ Ask

➢ argumentation➢ which alternatives considered

➢ Build or buy?➢ Open standards➢ Open courseware➢ Free & Open Licenses

My proposal of VLIR-UOS software policy(not approved yet)

➢ VLIR-UOS wants to encourage the use of Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) in the South partner institutions.

➢ VLIR-UOS will only support the implementation and training of FLOSS, unless proprietary software is demonstrated to be significantly superior and necessary for the required tasks. Whenever VLIR-UOS funds are used for proprietary software, reasons must be provided (including a list of FLOSS alternatives considered) and approved by [the ICT/OLL expert group or the VLIR-UOS FLOSS Advisory Board].

My proposal of VLIR-UOS software policy(not approved yet)

➢ In the case VLIR-UOS funded hardware for South partner institutions comes with proprietary software pre-installed, it must be demonstrated that the maximum is done to convince the manufacturer or supplier to only deliver FLOSS. Suppliers that are willing to provide hardware with FLOSS are to be preferred above those that don't.

➢ Software developed with VLIR-UOS funds must be published under a FLOSS license, where possible, in order to maximize its usefulness for other developing countries.

➢ VLIR-UOS advises new IUC programmes to include a work package around FLOSS awareness creation, expertise building, policy definition, training, support and implementation.

How to handlethe plethora of choice?

➢ define requirements

➢ indicators of high quality & sustainability

➢ mature, stable software?➢ active community?➢ recent releases?➢ availability of support & documentation?

➢ need / possibility to change the code?

➢ need / possibility to participate in the community?

When to migrate?

➢ Time transitions➢ at the end of existing contracts➢ at hardware / software upgrade times

➢ Consider migrating in phases

1. servers

2. desktop applications

→ multi-platform

→ web-based

3. desktop OS

Key success factorsfor migration & implementation

➢ Resources to experiment

➢ An evidence-based choice

➢ Involvement of both technical and non-technical users in the selection process

➢ Choice for a new system which is in all aspects at least as good and easy as the previous one

➢ Reporting detailed migration plan to management and get their approval and support

➢ In-house expertise with open source software and communities

➢ Contact with the developers and users community

➢ Constant communication with all stakeholders

Advantages of being acontributing community member

➢ Co-decide the direction of development

➢ Create extensions

➢ user requested➢ research driven innovation

➢ More contacts with other educational institutions

➢ Programming projects for students

➢ Better knowledge of the system

➢ Better trouble solving

➢ Possibilities for grants
