What's The Drupal Community View on the Future of Open Source?

Next week at the Open Source Business Conference I’m going to be joining a panel discussion put together by Michael Skok of North Bridge Venture Partners. The panel includes Roger Burkhardt of Ingres, Mårten Mickos of MySQL AB, John Roberts of SugarCRM, and Mark Shuttleworth of Canonical/Ubuntu.

The panel will be discussing key trends in open source software centered on the results of a short online survey of OSBC attendees and members of key open source communities. I want to make sure we get a good sample from the Drupal community, so I’m posting the link to the Acquia version of the survey below.

The survey addresses the motivations for selecting open source, open source industry dynamics, and asks respondents to make predictions about how open source will unfold. It’s mostly tuned to the interests of OSBC attendees, but I’m sure many in the Drupal community will find it intriguing as well. I’ll be sure to blog the results of the survey and the panel discussion here, so stay tuned.
