Open Sourcerers
The potential of AI has been acknowledged for years, along with the understanding that data is the key driver of this potential. This realization sparked a gold rush to amass data, a pursuit driven more by the allure of future possibilities than by practical use cases. Consequently, this rush resulted in piles of rubble rather […]
The latest book by the Czech-Canadian scientist and policy analyst Vaclav Smil, Invention and Innovation: A Brief History of Hype and Failure (The MIT Press, 2023) inspired me to write this blog entry, partly as a review, but also as an opportunity to share some reflections about its implications for the domain of open source […]
This blog post will discuss why Quantum Computing is a natural step to evolve our computing capabilities. I will give a short overview of the core principles and differences to classical computing and how anyone with interest is able to access quantum computers — using Open Source software. Why do we care about quantum computing? […]
An interview with my colleagues Marcel Hild and Robert Bohne on new ways to apply Open Source principles to operating software. Ingo: Hello Robert, hello Marcel! Nice to have you here! And today we have an interesting topic “operate first” and I’m very curious what that really means. So, Marcel and Robert, please introduce […]
Why and how I considered Wardley Maps a perfect tool to foster a good strategic alignment from leadership to execution and from business strategy to organisational execution.
Wikipedia says: “A Wardley map is a map of the structure of a business or service, mapping the components needed to serve the customer or user. Wardley maps are named after Simon Wardley who created the technique at Fotango in 2005 having created the evolutionary framing the previous year.”
How it started – How it’s going… When Open Source (or better: free software) started in the 1980ies, it was a movement to gain back control over devices and computers. In the early days, computers had been sold and the software was coming with it, source code included, so everyone could explore it. But when […]
