While open source software plays an important role in many cloud applications, we need to understand where the cloud is taking us or we'll find ourselves in the grip of a new monopoly. Open source needs to get serious about building interoperable open data services - they are the operating system of the internet.

What We Really Do At O'Reilly

Change the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators

O’Reilly Radar Methodology

“The future is here. It’s just not evenly distributed yet.” - William Gibson

We “watch the alpha geeks” and think about the futures they are living in

We then look for trend data that tells us that a particular future is becoming mainstream

I’m going to tell you some seemingly unconnected technology stories from the front lines of innovation. Then we’re going to connect the dots.

“I’m an inventor. I became interested in long term trends because an invention has to make sense in the world in which it is finished, not the world in which it is started.”

-Ray Kurzweil

What we see here

Peer-to-peer credit card payments Social networks used for risk evaluation

The PC is out of the loop The phone is a sensor platform

– Hardware add-on innovation– Location based sensing– Touch screen UI

Processing is done in real time in the cloud– Allowing processing that can’t be done on the device– Big data analysis– Building new networks on the back of existing ones

Reinventing a major industry

The cloud future includes...

Devices acting as sensors for intelligent data collection

Devices whose UI is on the web rather than the device

Feeding data into multiple online services that will turn into a full-on sensor web

Setting the stage for robotics, augmented reality, and the next generation of personal electronics

Open Source and Scientific Data“With the very pressing issue of climate change, releasing raw data is vital.

There can be no excuse not to. Releasing source code is optional, trulygreat for open source review - but very dangerous if everyone just re-runsthe same code with the same baked-in implicit and explicit assumptions anderrors.

In discussion with our Chief Scientist, we have agreed it's much better topublish the following:

  - the raw data and the circumstances of its collection  - the method and assumptions used to process the data (in words and  equations)  - the results of the processing  - the known limitations on the method and significance of the assumptions

The computer code should be written from scratch as many times as possibleto reduce the chance that it affected the results in any way.”
