Chat with Coté and Ian Skerrett about being open and commercial
, May 30th, 2008Coté has posted an interview with me and Ian Skerrett on RedMonk Radio 
We discuss how the Eclipse ecosystem is driven by vendor-neutral open source frameworks such as Mylyn, and the ways in which commercial products like Tasktop build on that. Some interesting points that came up are: the various ways in which vendors decide on what to open, the split between open and closed source Mylyn connectors, the role of the community, and the benefits of Eclipse’s governance model. We wrap up the conversation with some thoughts on OSGi and its use in runtimes such as the SpringSource Application Platform.

And yes, Coté is now sporting a cool
sticker on his infamous laptop, which admittedly does not take a less is more approach to stickers.
