  • Each of us defines success differently and makes decisions we think will move us in the right direction. Life events and exposure to different people and experiences shape who we are. For Brad, it's open-source software that has shaped many of his life philosophies. Whether you're a fellow engineer or a computer software novice, the life lessons of open-source software are applicable to us all.
    Brad Griffith is a life-long entrepreneur but thinks like an engineer. He grew up working for his dad's veterinary hospital, learning the joys and challenges of business ownership. Brad is now President of Buckeye Interactive, the web engineering and strategy team he started in 2009. Prior to starting Buckeye Interactive, Brad spent several years consulting and developing web applications in-house for a variety of companies including JPMorgan Chase, QUALCOMM, and the Go Big Network. Brad earned his Masters in Business Administration after completing his Bachelor's in Electrical and Computer Engineering with honors, both at The Ohio State University. Brad lives with his wife and two girls (1 and 5 years old) in New Albany, Ohio.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Very good speech. I was searching for down to earth explanation on open source software for my paper and I ran into your speech. Thanks!

    Great ideas, but a little rambling at times. I think you’re trying too much to convince us through emotional stories and allegory rather than examples of practical solutions and failures (ethical or practical) of proprietary software.

      Vulkan, Opentoonz, Blender. The close version was good, but open version grow and become better and better.
      You as developer want money for your job. Open source devs too, It just that if you are making a tool, and that tool will make you gain profit, if you open that tool to collaborative evolution, your tool will be better and then your profits will be bigger. AMD will make more money out of Vulkan than Mantle. They have to pay devs anyway, Now they do it trough donation to Vulkan devs, but money is money.

    While Chrome mostly consists of open source Chromium, it does have proprietary components. Unlike many open source projects, it's direction is dominated by Google and design choices are made to further Google's primary business: capturing personal data so that they can sell the information to advertisers.
    I find this to be an unfortunate example of an open source project.

    awesome talk, but if someone wants their software to be propitiatory I think that shouldn't be frowned upon too. just an opinion

      Yousuf Azad Sami, I agree. As a software programmer there are programs I worked on as an employee that required several programmers to put that software all together. We were paid very well by a private company and it is only right that the employer have an opportunity to recover the costs of labour, infrastructure such as electrical power, heating, upkeep etc. plus make a profit. So if you buy proprietary software, then yes, it is only right and considerate to pay for it.

    Interesting talk, but I feel he's a bit confused with his terms. "Vulnerability" isn't "leading with your strength" .. open source ..let's promote free software aka Stallman. Also, a lot of random stories which don't seem relevant.

    Why open source software isn’t as ethical as you think it is: Open source communities are exclusionary. According to a recent survey by GitHub, 95% of open source contributors are male. 3% identified as female, and 1% as non-binary. (This is actually double the number from a few years ago.) Meanwhile, 16% identified as being from a minority background. There are lots of compounding reasons for this: for example, only certain kinds of people can afford to volunteer their time for software projects. Why you use open source? Often companies have gender and minority policies and implement positive discrimination that is not possible with open source software.
