March 29, 2008OSS March 29 Podcast--Dominic Sartorio of the Open Solutions Alliance
In an August 2007 guest editorial feature article here on the ebizQ site Dominic Sartorio, President of the Open Solutions Alliance (OSA), explained the challenge of interoperability in the IT industry. I certainly can’t argue against interoperability because it is the underpinning of my mantra, “open choice.”
ebizQ actually goes further back with the Alliance, having first met with its representatives back in February 2007, at its founding. I think the OSA is critical to the growth of the open source software movement because, presuming open source develops like every other IT market has developed over time, applications will be the key. If the OSA didn’t exist, the open source movement would have to create it.
With the first anniversary of OSA just past, it makes sense to catch up with Dominic and find out how things are going and what is planned for the rest of 2008 and into 2009.
In addition to his Presidency at the Open Solutions Alliance, Dominic is Senior Director, Product Management at SpikeSource. Previously he was in product management at Wily Technology and BEA Systems.
