For modern app development through open source, users still rule
Yes, empathy is a key to open source success, according to folks at Red Hat Summit 2017. The idea rests on the notion that while development speed is great and innovation is necessary -- both hallmarks of open source work and modern app development, vendors said -- programmers must also stay aware about how next-generation technology can affect users.

How this startup used open-source tech to deploy emergency room app
Since apps can be used on smartphones to do things like schedule appointments at restaurants or at the hairdresser, a physician in Switzerland wondered why we couldn’t make appointments for emergency rooms as well.
“We all have the same problems in healthcare, it doesn’t matter where you live or where you work,” said Dr. Dorothée Rhein Straub (pictured, right), founder of easiER AG, a startup based in Zurich, Switzerland. She explained that when a patient is sick or injured, they are looking to be cared for as rapidly as possible without having to repeat the same information over many times to different people.

The Next Challenge for Open Source: Federated Rich Collaboration
When over a decade ago the file sync and share movement was started by Dropbox and later joined by Google Drive, it became popular very fast. Having your data available, synced or via the web interface, no chance of forgetting to bring that important document or use USB sticks -- it was a huge step forward. But more than having your own data at hand, it enabled sharing and collaboration. No longer emailing documents, no longer being unsure if you got feedback on the latest version of your draft or fixing errors that were already fixed before. Usage grew, not only among home users but also business users who often used the public cloud without the IT departments' approval.

Yahoo Open Sources Athenz Container Access Control
Yahoo often doesn't get enough credit for the contributions it has sent to the open source community during the past decade or so.
Besides the original development of Hadoop a dozen years ago, Yahoo has been an active participant in projects such as those listed on the company's Github page, in various Apache Software Foundation Communities, and in niche communities such as CPAN and others.
Yahoo's latest contribution is Athenz, an open-source platform for fine-grained access control that it released May 8. Athenz is a role-based access-control (RBAC) solution, providing trusted relationships between applications and services deployed within an organization requiring authorized access.
