Vincent Untz, Centreon
Vincent bootstrapped his career thanks to his passion for open source more than 20 years ago: heavily involved in all aspects of the GNOME project, he was recruited by SUSE to keep working on what he loved. He later became involved in openSUSE and in OpenStack. His involvement in the community covered all kind of roles in various projects: contributor, reviewer, maintainer, release manager, director of a Foundation, chairman, and more! Today, Vincent is happy to mix his interests in open source, technology, people and strategy on a daily basis thanks to his role of CTO at Centreon.
Session
The virtuous sides of the Open Source model are well known; at the same time, and without necessarily a causal link, many companies are migrating to SaaS-type models.
In this session, we’ll explore both subjects and see that a causal link does exist, but also that this relationship between Open Source and SaaS is actually more complex than at first sight, since it forms a virtuous circle that, in retrospect, looks like a no-brainer! Are Open Source and SaaS, two very strong trends in our industry, the perfect couple?
