Open Core Summit

Open core is a very common model used by traditional commercial open source companies. Puppet started out as an open-source project and quickly expanded to multiple projects that made up a platform that represented our "core". Puppet Enterprise became a combination of proprietary add-ons on top of the core platform. Since then we have experimented with different models and have tested new approaches with various new products and projects we've released in the last two years. We believe you don’t need to be tied to a specific Open Source business model to be successful and that it’s more important to be agile as a business, experiment with different approaches.
