ITSMF Congres 2006

















Op 20 april 2006 werd het jaarlijkse congres van ITSMF gehouden.
Verschillende collega’s hebben een presentatie gehouden en ook onze hoogleraar van beheer, Philip Powell. Presentaties zijn te vinden op http://www.best-practices-in-itsm.nl/20april.
Ook had ik een ontmoeting met Sharon Taylor, Chief Architect van het ITIL Refresh project (zie http://www.itil.co.uk), die het laatste nieuws over de nieuwe versie van ITIL vertelde.

Can Open Source Stay Open?

“Tim O'Reilly says the title of this program is misleading. "The real question we want to ask and answer here is: What is the relationship of open source to this whole idea of Web 2.0." Thus begins a provocative Q&A with O'Reilly, Mitchell Baker, and Jonathan Schwartz.
The wide-ranging discussion covers how the collision between open source software and Web 2.0 is changing the economics of computer, software, and internet businesses. The decline of tight, centralized control over software and computing resources is producing a surge in innovation as new ideas are released, tested, and improved rapidly by the avid communities surrounding new web and desktop applications.”

Mary Meeker 2005

"Mary Meeker's presentation looks at data points that help us understand what has happened in the internet industry within the last few years, and the most likely places for substantial growth in the next phase of this industry."

The Internet of Things 2005

“In the future we may be able to find lost keys with a simple google search. Science fiction writer Bruce Sterling imagines how physical objects will be part of the internet as they become trackable in space and time. Bruce discusses the theoretical and technical challenges that we face as we try and think about and develop the Internet of Things. From Spimes to Thing Links to Blogjects, the terminology and verbal framing devices currently being used are pulled apart in this keynote address from the 2006 O'reilly Emerging Technology Conference.”
