Open source roundtable and OSBC

The editors at InfoWorld have put together a virtual roundtable series of articles on open source this week to coincide with this week's OSBC conference. I wrote some comments responding to questions as did other folks including Matt Asay from Alfresco, Javier Soltero from Hyperic, Sam Ramji from Microsoft and others.

Take a look and let me know what you think. Or better yet, head over to the OSBC conference Tuesday and Wednesday and you can see all this and more happening live. As usual, Matt Asay is the host of OSBC and this year's overall theme is "Putting open source to work." (I can't believe OSBC has been around for 5 years! It still feels new to me.)

I'll be on two different panels: "The state of the open source database market" Tuesday at 3:00 pm and "Can open source communities survive M&A?" Wednesday at 3:00 pm. (This was a late addition so it might not be on the schedule yet.)

There will also be a slew of events at or around OSBC including MySQL and Sun having a little community celebration reception at Jillian's Billiards, next door to Sony Metreon center (corner 4th / Howard) Tuesday evening 5:00 - 8:00 pm.
