List out your ideas for questions for us each to respond to here. Ideally, we would like to have a relatively short set of questions that get at the heart of the key decision factors.

  1. What role does different software licenses play in decisions to adopt Open Source software?
  2. Can you describe a time when you adopted an open source software tool for a particular project? Describe the situation and the key factors in the decision and then evaluate how successful or unsuccessful the tool served your goals. Going forward what do you see as the key implications of this case?
  3. Can you describe your decision process for software? What are the key questions you ask about any given software?
  4. If you have been using a open source system for several years what parts of managing that application take up most of your time?
