Abstract
This chapter defines Open Source in the computer industry and compares the development cycles of open source and closed source projects. It discusses the drivers to open source from the perspective of the consumers of open source projects as well as contributors of these projects. The chapter then goes into discussing the interplay between open source and industry standards, and stresses the tighter collaboration ensuing among them. The chapter then provides a tour of open source activities in IoT ranging from hardware and operating systems to IoT Service Platforms.
