“Millenial” companies (e.g., Facebook, Twitter and Zynga) are developing IT scale and capacity at unprecedented rates, and doing it with historically low levels of investment ($ per user). Cloud and FOSS are two of the key technology enablers. In this webinar you’ll hear from two of the “2010 Open Source Rookies of the Year” identified by Black Duck. Cloud9 IDE CTO Rik Arends and Rackspace Cloud founder and chair of the OpenStack Project Oversight Committee Jonathan Bryce will discuss how to leverage these trends to unleash developer productivity.

You’ll learn about why Jonathan Bryce from OpenStack believes that an open development model is essential for developer productivity and will foster badly-needed cloud standards, while creating a large ecosystem that spans cloud providers. And Cloud9 IDE’s Rik Arends will discuss the promise of online development environments that let developers create applications.
