Trends in Version Control Land: Open Source

Open source practices are increasingly being adopted across various industries due to their ability to enhance collaboration, efficiency, and innovation. As companies become more comfortable with the idea of loosening control, open source emerges as a valuable solution, with 90% of respondents in the 2016 Future of Open Source Survey noting improvements in efficiency and 65% contributing to open source projects. The widespread use of a program encourages feedback and solutions from a larger user base, making open source a logical choice for popular software within large companies or specific sectors. This trend is particularly evident in enterprise infrastructure areas like networking, security, and ERP systems. Furthermore, software closely related to developers is more likely to become open source, as developers can directly address and resolve issues. While some sectors like healthcare are slower to adopt open source, the trend is nonetheless expanding, driven by the potential for collaborative development and a strong reputation among developers.
