  1. WELCOME • OPEN SOURCE: What is it? • Why is it important • Relevance

  2. NEED • Self-Interest • Overall health of a program community increases • Meets the demand of the market

  3. RESEARCH • Saves money • Flexible • More Transparent • Avoids a lot of project failures

  4. DEVELOPMENT • Harnesses power of distributed peer review & transparency of process • Better quality for less to little investment other than time • Higher reliability due to the vast amount of information available • Lowers the cost to producer and consumer

  5. COMMERCIALIZATION • Community of developers • Wiki, Yahoo Buzz, Wikipedia, Moodle • RedHat/JBoss • IBM

  6. INNOVATORSADOPTERS • Innovators & Adopters: Consumers along with producers. Reason? Cost and flexibility. • Laggards: Those who are close minded, confused and have questions regarding support, risk of OS programs, requirements and maintenance. • Combination of small group innovations as well as showing positive results.

  7. CRITICAL MASSCHANGE AGENTS • Centralized/Decentralized must work together to implement adoption. • Leadership, team members and “change agents” within your organization. • Yes & No. Moodle and Wikispaces have caught on yet other programs/software we shy away from because it is OS.

  8. AGENDA • There is a need but it’s by a “needs” basis. Open Source plays a role in our MS/HS but within our Elem. it’s guarded. We need it due to the flexibility, low cost and ease of maintenance. Depending on source, it’s dependable, is high quality and very resourceful
