  2. IBM PowerLinuxTMa powerful combination AGENDA: Opensource– industry study IBM and Linux IBM PowerLinuxTM, Linux on POWERTM IBM hardware portfolio for Linux Benefits of running Linux on POWERTM IBM October 2012 Announcements

  3. Opensource – why do we use it ? Opensource adoption 50% - prefer opensource 75% - consider opensource equal to proprietary software * source: based on OpenLogic survey (556 respondents, mainly medium and large enterprizes: http://www.openlogic.com/wazi/bid/187999/

  4. Concerns ? * source: based on OpenLogic survey (556 respondents, mainly medium and large enterprizes: http://www.openlogic.com/wazi/bid/187999/

  5. How familiar are we with opensource ? * source: based on OpenLogic survey (556 respondents, mainly medium and large enterprizes: http://www.openlogic.com/wazi/bid/187999/

  6. Opensource – most commonly used ? * source: based on OpenLogic survey (556 respondents, mainly medium and large enterprizes: http://www.openlogic.com/wazi/bid/187999/

  7. IBM contribution LINUX kernel development: Source: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/announcements/2012/04/linux-foundation-releases-annual-linux-development-report/
