1. Open source companies acquired in record amounts
2. Significant IPOs make significantly more capital available
3. Github acquired by Microsoft
4. The search for sustainable business models gains momentum
5. Linus steps back from Linux
6. Linux explores a new code of conduct
7. Redis attempts a more convenient "open source"
