Abstract

「開源」常被當成「免費」的同義詞 —— 公司想省授權費、政府想省採購成本、工程師想省學習門檻。但維護一套被全世界依賴的開源專案,從來不是免費的。

本場次以 CNCF 大使與 CNTUG 社群組織者的視角,拆解一個在台灣很少被正面談論的問題:當開源早已是雲端原生時代的產業標準,台灣為什麼始終站在「使用者」而非「主導者」的位置?講者將從人才、企業、政策三個面向切入:

  • 人才:刷開源缺乏舞台、薪資沒有溢價,優秀貢獻者最後多半往國外出走;
  • 企業:用賣硬體的思維做軟體、靠高度客製化的代工生存,把「開源會被別人學走」當成不開源的理由——卻忘了若 Kubernetes 當年不開源,今天就不會有整個 CNCF 生態讓大家共享;
  • 政策:政府傾向「辦活動」而非資助真正在爬坡的貢獻者。對照 Python 基金會為了堅持 DEI 價值、主動撤回美國 NSF 一百五十萬美元補助,缺口最終由企業補上的案例,我們得以重新檢視「政府主導開源」的侷限。

如果台灣能解開這三方的結構性困境,它能釋放的影響力,或許會超越我們對自己的想像。
