Today, there are many proof points that validate Linux as a cost-effective, enterprise class platform, both for development and deployment. But how does Linux fit into the "Architecture of the Future"? What will it take to move Linux and Open Source to the next level of deployments in the enterprise with Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and data grids? As services become the predominant way that business processes are built, what are the implications for Open Source services?
In this keynote, Charles Phillips will discuss all of these issues and will highlight how companies such as Oracle are the catalysts that are enabling Open Source technologies like Linux to become a critical building block of the data center of the future.

Open Source continues to challenge and revolutionize the business model for commercial software.
Markets once dominated by UNIX have been permanently changed by the economics of Linux on industry-standard platforms. What started as a disruptive technology only five years ago is now mainstream and still growing, claiming victims as powerful as Sun Microsystems.
But Linux was only the beginning. New opportunities continue to develop for the open source software business model. We are already witnessing the beginning of commoditization in the middleware market with My SQL and JBoss. The application market will be next.

The software industry is becoming more complicated every day. You have industry giants hanging on for dear life and open source upstarts trying to commoditize just about everything. All of the players are attempting to stake our intellectual property positions to make sure their turf is protected and they are safe from legal action. These protection issues are taking away from the software industry’s true calling—innovation.
How should software be protected? What drives individuals and companies to innovate? Shouldn't copyright be sufficient? These are just a few of the burning issues Mark Webbink, Red Hat Deputy General Counsel, will focus on during his keynote presentation.
