Excellent article John. I agree that open source is leading innovation in the identity space.
WSO2 also has a 100% commercial open source identity stack, that is constantly breaking new ground in the security world. For example, the open source identity stack supports new web and cloud security protocols (i.e. XACML3, OAuth1a, OAuth2, SCIM, OpenID, and SAML2).
Jim gave an excellent presentation, and the focus on open collaboration, micro-iterations, and user-led innovation is a game changer.
The dynamics are shifting power away from closed, proprietary corporate leadership towards open collaboration and user-led innovation. The shift is disrupting traditional business strategies, IT operation practices, and market dominance.
The open source ethos of open collaboration and listening to users is providing open source companies an edge in a user-led environment. Mobile adoption, technology consumerization, data democratization, and Cloud self-service access are shifting the market’s paradigm towards user-led innovation.
