The Future of Open Source in the Mainstream, Chris Wright, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Red Hat

It wasn’t long ago that very few companies were comfortable with the idea of working in open source. But the world has changed, and as Chris Wright says, open-source is the new normal. Chris is the Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at Red Hat, and on this episode of the Future of Tech, he explains how Red Hat has helped open-source go mainstream. He advises everyone in the tech community to become part of the open-source community because it’s there that you will uncover solutions to problems that you weren’t expecting or couldn’t find without the power of a collective of curious minds working toward a singular goal. Plus he explains why he thinks CIOs need to ask themselves a couple of very important questions surrounding operational efficiency and developer velocity.

3 Takeaways:

 

• The acquisitions happening around open-source prove that open-source has gone mainstream

• Open source will be used to deal with the explosion of data that has happened in recent years and which will become exponentially worse as more of the things we do become digital and online

• We are on the precipice of true revolution when it comes to A.I because technology is in a better place now than in recent years
