Breaking open a market: an example from the world of photography

Open source software is often contending in a market that is dominated by large corporations. Be it Microsoft when it comes to operating systems and web browsers, or Google when it comes to search engines. The same situation is true in completely different markets as well. Innovation can be a a way to overturn such a market division, and recently, two companies have tried to break open the interchangeable lens digital camera market. I'm talking about Olympus and Panasonic who launched the Micro FourThirds system in 2008.

So I'm starting a blog... It's been two weeks now since j0nathan asked me to write a blog on relative.nl. Quite an honour to be asked, but what am I going to write about? Relative.nl is a community dedicated to the spread of open source, and I can wholeheartedly subscribe to that goal. But I'm not a software developer. So what do I write about?

The use of Open Source

The quality of a product depends on the 'components' or other products its built with, using Open Source licenses you can create a better product by sharing your recipe so that others might improve it. Development costs can be covered by funds invested due to the need for your produce or support/guarantees you offer. In the ICT sector, this concept is already proven by Google for instance (Android OS).
