But when you realize it's a Portland firm - Pupp et Labs\, and that the investment was lead by Kleiner Perkins Caulfield\ , you will want to hear the story straight from the horse's mouth - CEO Luke Kanies of Puppet Labs\, the makers of a leading open source data ce nter automation and configuration management framework. \;\n \;\nJ oining him to talk about the opportunities and challenges of an open sou rce start-up will be Stuart Cohen\, CEO of CSI (Collaborative Software I nitiative)\, a company that introduces a process for companies to collab oratively build software applications. \;\n \;\nOpen Source has ty pically been associated with altruism - software that is given away free and is open to modification by users. The concept became a household wo rd when Portlander Linus Torvalds developed the Linux operating system. Now the list of Open Source and Free Software today includes cutting edg e solutions to large scale problems in multiple domains. From languages to runtimes\, cloud infrastructure to databases\, the best solutions are open-sourced. Leading companies are building on top of open-source comp onents\, while giving back to the community. But open source is not just about being cost-effective\,it is becoming the key to innovation. \; \n \;\nHow do open source start-ups thrive in this eco-system?
