Slides from the OMA and oneM2M IoT Seminar on January 21, 2016 Speaker 3: Benjamin Cabé, IoT Evangelist, Eclipse Foundation Presentation title: “Building an Open Internet of Things, the Eclipse way” Benjamin Cabé, Internet of Things enthusiast and evangelist at the Eclipse Foundation, has years of experience in connecting things, big and small, together. He is advocating the use of open source technologies to build Internet of Things solutions, which led him to cofound the Eclipse IoT Working Group in 2011. This working group has become a thriving community of 20+ open source projects, hundreds of developers, and thousands of users.

31. How can you leverage an
Open IoT ecosystem?

32. #1 – Embrace Open IoT Standards
• Proprietary protocols are NOT a
differentiator
• Ensure interoperability

33. #2 – Leverage Open-Hardware
• Developers are using open hardware
• Lower your barriers to entry
• Create your ‘Hello World’

34. #3 – Participate in OSS
• Build on top of open source software to
lower barriers and foster innovation
• Participate in an OSS project to build a
bigger pie
