There are many myths about Open Source. Ten years ago, Tim O'Reilly gave a keynote speech "ten myths about open source software", of which myth #2 concerns “lack of support”. Today, there are many companies dedicated to provide support for Open Source. For example, Open Source Sweden is an industry association that seeks to maintain the interests of Swedish companies. Despite this, myth #2 is still an issue as this talk will illustrate.

Every organizational change has its winners and losers.Organizational researchers can show who they are. My talk is about a large scale software development change towards OSS. What happens when OSS practices are adopted in hierarchy? Based on on-going research, I talk about the different institutional forces in play. There are processes of facilitation, adoption, resistance and control. The new balance of power empowers developers, but also enacts stricter control on their output.

The VALO-CD-project: How did we turn thousands of Finns from main stream Windows users into open source supporters? How did this grassroots movement get 60 000 visitors on its website in a country with five million people?

I've been initiating (and after successful initiation, facilitating) a collaborative model for producing open source compliance information, Validos (www.validos.org). However, I think that there are also many other areas, where customer collaboration can produce real added value for both customers and vendors/producers. I would like to challenge everybody to start thinking of possible collaborative areas within their activities.

Adaption of OS software is growing in the governmental and public sector organizations. Many people say that it should grow faster. How about if the public serctor organizations start adapting, not only the OS software, but the open decision making and development processes that are familiar in the open source communities?

Most of use use Open Source programs daily but how many of us actually participate in Open Source communities? Programmers are used to submitting code patches but too few users realize that you don't need to be a programmer to participate! Pick your favourite OS project and participate in IRC chats, conversations in users mailinglist, write documentation, help testing new features, etc. YOU can make a difference (and make name for yourself) -- even if you're not a programmer.

I'd like to talk about how the ideas are brought to innovation and how OS startups can start to build their growth plan.

Traditionally open source has been seen changing mostly business models: from license fees and maintenance fees to subscriptions. Is it also changing sales channels? Is SW sold nowadays only via CIOs? I see that open source pushes more and more the way where early adaptors inside the company sell the SW to their own CIOs instead of vendor's sales managers. So should the vendos sales managers find first the early adaptors and sell the ideas and new products to them instead of CIOs?
