Last week I had the pleasure of speaking at an Open Source Event hosted by the CIO of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Susan Swart. I presented to a room full of IMF staff on how open source has had a key role in accelerating new technologies. The open source methodology results in lower total cost of ownership and the faster production of higher quality products through collaboration. This allows organization to focus on innovating at the top of the stack rather than focusing on infrastructure.
Key elements of the internet stack were accelerated with open source. Examples discussed were the Apache web servers and the Netscape browser.

Another emerging technology that open source has accelerated is the internet of things. Some key infrastructure elements that IOT leverages are IPV6 and the Contiki operating system. Common sensing and computation platforms like Arduino and Raspberry Pi utilize many open source protocols.
Blockchain was the last emerging technology discussed. While its technology stack isn’t finalized much of the infrastructure is being accelerated through open source projects like Hyperledger.
Organizations are able to realize benefits of emerging technology earlier by leveraging and contributing to open source projects like Hyperledger and the Open Connection Foundation. Participating in pilots or testing protocols allows your organization to have a say in the final product. It also develops expertise in new technology areas earlier. If your entity wants to stay on the cutting edge participate in open source projects.
