Read Now! When open source competitors work together, we all win Open Source software is great. On that, I am fairly confident, we can all agree. The ability to obtain and modify the source code to the software that you rely upon...well, it's a major win. But there's something even better than access to the source code itself: seeing Open Source project teams, of what seem like competing tools, work together to make everyone's lives better. That is exactly what...

Unlike the user-driven ONF, OpenDaylight is a vendor-driven project to cultivate a system of SDN applications, but it also raised suspicion of the group's real intent: Is it designed to stall SDN's momentum and the threat, real or perceived, it could pose to incumbent hardware vendors? ONF Executive Director Dan Pitt discussed some of these topics with Network World Managing Editor Jim Duffy at the Santa Clara, Calif., conference.
