Simplify Your Stack with Enterprise Open Source Software by Marc Fleury, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, JBoss

Presentation Abstract

Listen in on how the open-source software (OSS) movement is having a disruptive effect on the software industry. The best open-source efforts including Linux, Apache HTTP Server, JBoss, Hibernate, Eclipse, and JUnit attract large, vibrant, and passionate developer communities. The result is typically higher quality, lower cost software that enables IT organizations to simplify their stacks and improve developer productivity. We'll focus on open source and open standards in the application infrastructure market, including metrics to use when evaluating enterprise open source products. We'll also discuss how open standards such as Enterprise Java Beans 3.0, JavaServer Faces, and Java Business Integration are designed to simplify the stack even further.
