On June 13, I posted on the panel at the Enterprise 2.0 conference that talked about the influence of open source software on social computing and all the other aspects of Web 2.0 that are permeating the enterprise. One of the panelists at that conference was Bob Bickel and we are happy to welcome him today to tell us about the trend of open source in Enterprise 2.0 and his new company Ringside Networks.
Bob is one of the co-founders of Ringside Networks and sits on the Board. He helps with setting company strategy, sharing the vision of the future of social networking with others and getting market feedback to help set the proper direction for the company.
He was an important part of the technology and business strategy and implementation at Bluestone Software, later acquired by HP, and JBoss, later acquired by Red Hat. Bob has helped advise a number of small technology companies and currently sits on the Boards of Hyperic and Metaverse.
