This is our first guest blog post by our colleague Andreas Klauda from E020-05. In this detailed post he describes how he successfully used Aqueduct with a local stack to increase his teams productivity by integrating his own MCP server to transform SharePoint into an agentic knowledge base.
Open source is rising like the wind: from its academical beginning in Berkeley and Massachusetts in the 1970s, it slowly reached mass usage in the datacenter and on consumer devices in the 2000s. Already in the 2010s, infrastructure market analysts noted that the open source licensing model was dominant in IT Infrastructure products coming to the market: easily available without central procurement, source code access to understand the internals if needed, and of course, gratis !
Today most of the open source infrastructure software is contributed by large companies, Intel, Red Hat (IBM), Google, Meta and Suse being the 2025 top five Linux kernel contributors
