Are enterprise companies adopting open source? Behind open source, there is a strong culture, and sometimes in some organizations debates on whether or not to use it, or contribute to it, can rise. Open source strikes a challenge for people to approach things in an innovative way, look for solutions that are outside the traditional box, and doing so in a collaborative environment where transparency is the most significant asset. If you have questions about open source or OpenStack private cloud adoption within your organization, then this discussion will help with some of those understandings.
