There are 150,000 open source products available. Which are the right ones for your environment? Once you move beyond ad hoc open source use, selecting and assessing open source products is vital to ensure you achieve the best operational results from your open source product set. This session will discuss creating a formal assessment methodology, how to integrate it into project management, and what key criteria should be evaluated to ensure your open source selections make sense.
