Annual Future of Open Source Survey points out market opportunities.

Black Duck Software and North Bridge Venture Partners, in partnership with 451 Research, are conducting the sixth annual Future of Open Source Survey. This annual survey is supported by more than 20 open source software industry leaders (including Microsoft, Oracle, Red Hat, SUSE, and others) and is open to participation from the entire open source community.

The survey aims to point out market opportunities, identify issues affecting the enterprise adoption of open source, and foreshadow industry trends for 2012 and beyond. Participation is now open to the general public and will close at the end of April.

You can take survey here.

The survey results will be presented at the Open Source Business Conference (OSBC, May 20-21, 2012). For more information, including a complete list of supporting companies, please visit: www.blackducksoftware.com.
