Diving Into the 2023 State of Open Source Report with Javier Perez

Pulling the Strings

“It doesn't matter how small the contribution is – I think everyone benefits from the different environment, the different culture, of open source communities.” From ‘free software’ to the Mars Rover, the scope of open source is expansive, growing, and offering new challenges to organizations and practitioners alike. Now, Perforce Director of Product Management Javier Perez is excited to share the latest findings from the 2023 State of Open Source Report with the context of his 26+ years in the software industry. Look into the past and peer into the future with this exciting discussion between two open source evangelists.

Join Javier and host Ben Ford, Developer Relations Director at Puppet by Perforce, as they discuss the history of open source, examples of open source software dating back to the 1950s, the communities that have formed around open source, where open source software is headed, and highlights from the highly anticipated 2023 State of Open Source Report, which asked ~900 global respondents about their use of open source software.

Highlights:

• AI and machine learning took the number one spot as a technology that most survey respondents were interested in.
• The number-one reason organizations use open source software is access to innovation — not cost savings.
• How initiatives intra-organization methodologies like InnerSource are breaking down silos between companies.
