December 12, 2007OSS Podcast December 12, 2007: Talking with... Mike Milinkovich of the Eclipse Foundation
In a recent podcast, I talk about some of the similarities of the informtation technology industry and the manufacturing industry with Michael Tiemann, president of the Open Source Inititiave (OSI). In particular, the idea was how the tool and die industry is a leading indicator of the health of the overall discrete manufacturing sector.
In this podcast, we take that thought to the next logical step. Let's talk to the guys that make the tools for open source software. So in the above downloadable file, we spend 5 minutes with Mike Milinkovich, representing the leading developer of OSS tools, the Eclipse Foundation. We wanted Mike's vision for the Foundation for 2008 and beyond.
The Eclipse Platform was released by IBM into Open Source in 2001. By the end of 2003, that group had grown to over 80 members and in February 2004 the group organized into a not-for-profit corporation. All technology and source code provided to and developed by this community is made available royalty-free via the Eclipse Public License. Major developer and user companies have all joined.
