Open source in the enterprise: a CIO.com blogathon

, June 3, 2008 @ 4:38 am ET

I’m very pleased to say that I’ve been invited to join CIO.com’s first Executives Online discussion panel, Open Source in the Enterprise, this week. As the starter post explains, the event is a virtual round table discussion bringing together a number of open source executives, and me, to discuss the enterprise adoption of open source software between today and Friday June 6.

It promises to be an interesting discussion, and CIO.com has been good enough to give us some starting discussions points with its survey of attitudes towards open source in the CIO community. I’ll be posting more details here as the discussion evolves.

The panel includes:

  • Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation
  • Joe ‘Zonker’ Brockmeier, Novell SUSE Evangelist
  • Bernard Golden, CIO blogger about open source issues
  • SugarCRM’s CIO, Lila Tretikov
  • SpringSource CEO Rod Johnson
  • Fabrizio Capobianco, the CEO of Funambo
  • Dominic Sartorio, president of the Open Solutions Alliance
  • Brian Gentile, president and CEO of JasperSoft
  • Bob Zurek, CTO at EnterpriseDB
  • WaveMaker CEO Chris Keene
  • Marten Mickos, the former CEO of MySQL and now the head of Sun’s database group
  • Jon Ferraiolo, leader of the OpenAJAX Alliance
  • Ira Heffan, legal counsel for TopCoder
  • Ron Gula, developer of Dragon IDS and the CEO of Tenable Network Security
  • Bob Sutor, the vice president of Standards and Open Source at IBM
  • Wikipedia’s Doman Mituzas
  • CIO.com’s Esther Schindler
