This document is the 2020 FLOSS Roadmap from 2009. It discusses the continued penetration of FLOSS technologies but also existing barriers. Two new issues are proprietary hardware platforms and data. The economic crisis creates opportunities for FLOSS vendors. Sun/Oracle is a major event. FLOSS supports a rich diversity like forests with community, professional, and business layers. National parks are needed to preserve FLOSS. Users should contribute via ego-altruism to support sustainable FLOSS infrastructure as a public knowledge asset.

- 3. 2009 Synthesis ● So far, so good ● Technological trends and FLOSS in Cloud confirmed ● Contradictory evolutions ● Penetration of FLOSS continues but barriers still exist ● 2 new issues ● Proprietary hardware platforms and proprietary data ● The global economic crisis ● An opportunity for FLOSS vendors ● Sun / Oracle: the main FLOSS event of 2009? ● Growth of FLOSS SMEs with hybrid business models OWF, Paris, 2 Oct 2009 http://2020flossroadmap.org 3
- 4. FLOSS is like forests ● A forest and its canopy hosts rich biodiversity and diverse ecosystems ● FLOSS has multiple layers and branches - technology and creation of wealth - ● Primary forests ... Pure community FLOSS ● GCC, Linux, Perl, ... ● Cultivated forests ... Professional / business FLOSS ● Jboss, MySQL, … ● Tree nurseries ... Communities ● Apache, OW2, Eclipse, Limo, Linux Foundation, ... ● IKEAs ... Red Hat, Canonical, IBM, Google, ... ● But what are the National Parks of FLOSS?

- 5. 2009 Conclusions ● Encourage FLOSS users to contribute ● Ego-altruism – to act in the interest of others only if this can be of maximum benefit to oneself ● FLOSS offers to users full, free and fair access to technologies enabling to communicate on a global level ● To guarantee access to these tools, users have to support and participate in the sustainability of FLOSS. ● New Recommendation ● Acknowledge the intrinsic value of FLOSS infrastructure for essential applications as a public knowledge asset (or 'as knowledge commons'), and consider new means to ensure its sustainable development OWF, Paris, 2 Oct 2009 http://2020flossroadmap.org 5
