'''Timothy O'Reilly''' (born 6 June 1954) is an Irish-American author and publisher, who is the founder of [[O'Reilly Media]] (formerly O'Reilly & Associates). He popularised the terms [[Open-source software|open source]]<ref name=OpenSource>{{cite web|last=O'Reilly|first=Tim|title=Open Source Paradigm Shift|url=http://tim.oreilly.com/articles/paradigmshift_0504.html|work=O'Reilly Media|date=June 2004|access-date=25 August 2011|archive-date=2 September 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110902224353/http://tim.oreilly.com/articles/paradigmshift_0504.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Web 2.0]].

== Education and early life ==
Born in [[County Cork]], Ireland, Tim O'Reilly moved to San Francisco, California with his family when he was a baby.<ref name="oracle" /> He has three brothers and three sisters.<ref name=trend>{{cite magazine|last=Levy|first=Steven|title=The Trend Spotter|url=http://archive.wired.com/wired/archive/13.10/oreilly_pr.html|magazine=Wired|access-date=27 April 2014|date=October 2005}}</ref> As a teenager, encouraged by his older brother Sean, O'Reilly became a follower of George Simon, a writer and adherent of the [[general semantics]] program.<ref name="oracle" /><ref name="trend" /> Through Simon, O'Reilly became acquainted with the work of [[Alfred Korzybski]],<ref name=morozov /> which he has cited as a formative experience.<ref>{{Cite web| last = O'Reilly| first = Tim| title = Books That Have Shaped How I Think| work = O'Reilly Media| access-date = 25 April 2015| date = 7 July 2005| url = http://archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/articles/favebooks_0705.html| archive-date = 31 March 2015| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150331185055/http://archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/articles/favebooks_0705.html| url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news| last = O'Reilly| first = Tim| title = Language is a Map| work = LinkedIn Pulse| access-date = 26 April 2015| date = 29 October 2012| url = https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20121029141916-16553-language-is-a-map| archive-date = 8 March 2021| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210308160806/https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20121029141916-16553-language-is-a-map| url-status = live}}</ref>

In 1973, O'Reilly enrolled at [[Harvard College]] to study [[classics]] and graduated ''cum laude'' with a [[Bachelor of Arts]] degree in 1975. During O'Reilly's first year at Harvard, George Simon died in an accident.<ref name=trend/><ref name=morozov />

== Career ==
After graduating, O'Reilly completed an edition of Simon's ''Notebooks, 1965–1973''.<ref>{{Cite book| publisher = Summer Publishers| last = Simon| first = George| title = Notebooks, 1965–1973, ed. with commentary by Timothy O'Reilly| location = Watertown, Mass.| date = 1976}}</ref> He also wrote a well-received book on the science fiction writer [[Frank Herbert]]<ref>{{Cite book| publisher = Frederick Ungar| last = O'Reilly| first = Timothy| title = Frank Herbert| location = New York| access-date = 25 April 2015| date = 1981| url = http://www.oreilly.com/tim/herbert/}}</ref> and edited a collection of Herbert's essays and interviews.<ref>{{cite book|last=Yoke|first=Carl|title=Science fiction & fantasy book review annual| date=1988| publisher=Meckler| location=Westport| isbn=0887362494|pages=409–410| editor=Robert A. Collins}}</ref> O'Reilly got started as a technical writer in 1977. He started publishing computer manuals in 1983, setting up his business in a converted barn in [[Newton, Massachusetts]], where about a dozen employees worked in a single open room.<ref name=trend/> In 1989, O'Reilly moved his company to [[Sebastopol, California]], and published the ''[[Whole Internet User's Guide and Catalog]]'', which was a best-seller in 1992.<ref name=trend/> O'Reilly's business, then known as O'Reilly & Associates, steadily grew through the 1990s, during which period it expanded from paper printed materials to [[web publishing]]. In 1993, the company's catalogue became an early [[web portal]], the [[Global Network Navigator]], which in 1995 was sold to [[America Online]].

The company suffered in the [[Dot-com bubble|dot-com crash]] of 2000. As book sales decreased, O'Reilly laid off about seventy people, approximately a quarter of staff,<ref name=trend/> but thereafter rebuilt the company around [[ebook]] publishing and event production. In 2011, Tim O'Reilly gave control of O'Reilly Media to the company's CFO, Laura Baldwin, but kept his longtime title of CEO. 

As a [[venture capital]]ist, O'Reilly has invested in companies such as [[Fastly]], [[Blogger (service)|Blogger]], [[Delicious (website)|Delicious]],<ref name="trend" /> [[Foursquare (company)|Foursquare]], [[Bitly]], and [[Chumby]].<ref name="levy">{{Cite magazine |last=Levy |first=Steven |date=21 December 2012 |title=Tim O'Reilly's Key to Creating the Next Big Thing |url=https://www.wired.com/2012/12/mf-tim-oreilly-qa/ |access-date=25 April 2015 |magazine=Wired |archive-date=19 March 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150319002340/http://www.wired.com/2012/12/mf-tim-oreilly-qa/ |url-status=live }}</ref> O'Reilly serves on the board of directors of [[Safari Books Online]], [[Maker Media]], [[PeerJ]], and the nonprofit organization [[Code for America]]. He was a board member of [[Macromedia]] until its 2005 merger with [[Adobe Systems]], and of [[MySQL AB]] until its sale to [[Sun Microsystems]]. In February 2012, he joined the [[UC Berkeley School of Information]] Advisory Board.<ref name="advisoryboard">{{cite web|title=Tim O'Reilly joins I School Advisory Board|url=http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/newsandevents/news/20120216timoreilly|work=ischool.berkeley.edu|access-date=16 February 2012}}</ref> 

In 2017, O'Reilly published the book ''WTF? What's the Future and Why It's Up to Us'' about technology's potential to enhance the human experience.<ref>{{cite web |last=Levy |first=Stephen |url=https://www.wired.com/story/tim-oreilly-algorithms-have-already-gone-rogue/ |title=Algorithms Have Already Gone Rogue |magazine=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] |date=4 October 2017 |access-date=17 February 2019 |archive-date=16 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190216215042/https://www.wired.com/story/tim-oreilly-algorithms-have-already-gone-rogue/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062565716/wtf/ |title=WTF?

=== Early causes ===
In 1996, O'Reilly fought against a 10-Connection Limit on TCP/IP NT Workstations, writing a letter to the [[United States Department of Justice]], [[Bill Gates]], and [[CNN]], concerned that the Internet was still in its infancy, and that limitations could cripple the technology before it ever had a chance to reach its full potential.<ref name="TCPIP">{{cite web |url=http://tim.oreilly.com/10-conn/ |title=The 1996 Controversy about the 10-Connection Limit on TCP/IP in NT Workstation |access-date=2011-08-25 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011110141449/http://tim.oreilly.com/10-conn/ |archive-date=10 November 2001 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> In 2001, O'Reilly was involved in a dispute with [[Amazon.com]],<ref>{{cite web|last=O'Reilly|first=Tim|title=Internet Land Grab|url=http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/articles/cacm3.html|work=oreillynet.com|access-date=27 April 2014|date=June 2000}}</ref> against Amazon's [[1-Click|one-click]] patent and, specifically, Amazon's assertion of that patent against rival [[Barnes & Noble]]. The protest ended with O'Reilly and Amazon.com founder [[Jeff Bezos]] visiting Washington D.C. to lobby for patent reform.

=== Open source software ===
In 1998, O'Reilly helped rebrand [[free software]] under the term [[Open-source model|open source]].<ref name=morozov>{{Cite news| issue = 22| last = Morozov| first = Evgeny| title = The Meme Hustler: Tim O'Reilly's crazy talk| work = The Baffler| year = 2013| url = http://www.thebaffler.com/salvos/the-meme-hustler| archive-date = 19 November 2023| access-date = 13 February 2015| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20231119101005/https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-meme-hustler| url-status = live}}</ref><ref name=p2p>{{Cite book| publisher = O'Reilly Media| isbn = 9780596001100| pages = [https://archive.org/details/peertopeerharnes00oram_0/page/38 38]–58|editor1= Andrew Oram | last = O'Reilly| first = Tim| title = Peer-to-peer: Harnessing the Benefits of a Disruptive Technology| chapter = Remaking the Peer-to-Peer Meme| date = 2001| chapter-url-access = registration| chapter-url = https://archive.org/details/peertopeerharnes00oram_0}}</ref><ref name=vanrossum>{{cite web|url=http://linuxgazette.net/issue28/rossum.html |title=Open Source Summit |work=Linux Gazette |date=10 April 1998 |access-date=7 February 2015 |first=Guido |last=van Rossum |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040529085521/http://linuxgazette.net/issue28/rossum.html |archive-date=29 May 2004 }}</ref> O'Reilly sees the role of open source as being inseparable from the development of the Internet, pointing to the widely used [[TCP/IP]] protocol, [[sendmail]], [[Apache HTTP Server|Apache]], [[Perl]], [[Linux]] and other open source platforms.<ref name=OpenSource /> He is concerned about trends towards new forms of [[Lock-in (decision-making)|lock-in]].<ref name=Expo>{{cite video

=== Web 2.0 ===
In 2003, after the [[Dot-com bubble|dot com bust]], O'Reilly Media's corporate goal was to reignite enthusiasm in the computer industry. Dale Dougherty, an executive at O'Reilly, invoked the phrase "Web 2.0" during a brainstorming session.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://computer.howstuffworks.com/web-20.htm|title=How Web 2.0 Works|work=HowStuffWorks|date=28 December 2007|access-date=1 May 2016|archive-date=17 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150217030750/http://computer.howstuffworks.com/web-20.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Though O'Reilly is often credited with popularizing the phrase Web 2.0, it originated with [[Darcy DiNucci]], who coined the term in 1999.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://darcyd.com/fragmented_future.pdf |last=DiNucci |first=Darcy |title=Fragmented Future |format=PDF|volume=53 |issue=4 |pages=221–222 |access-date=2 August 2019 |archive-date=10 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111110143942/http://darcyd.com/fragmented_future.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> O'Reilly went on to popularize the phrase as a handle for the resurgence of the web after the [[Dot-com bubble|dotcom crash]] of 2000, and as a generic term for the "harnessing of [[collective intelligence]]" viewed as the hallmark of this resurgence. O'Reilly first called an "executive conference" in 2004,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.web2con.com/web2con/ |work=Web2con |title=Web 2.0 Conference |year=2004 |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080913174125/http://www.web2con.com/web2con/ |archive-date=13 September 2008 }}</ref> inviting five hundred technology and business leaders, followed by a public version of the event in 2005. Annual iterations of the event, known as the "[[Web 2.0 Summit]]" from 2006 onwards, continued until 2011.

O'Reilly and employees of O'Reilly Media have applied the "2.0" concept to conferences in publishing and government, amongst other things.<ref>{{Cite journal | volume = 2| issue = 1 75| pages = 53–84| last = Turner| first = Fred|author2=Christine Larson| title = Network Celebrity: Entrepreneurship and the New Public Intellectuals| journal = Public Culture| date = 1 January 2015| doi = 10.1215/08992363-2798343}}</ref> O'Reilly envisions the [[Internet Operating System]]<ref name=StateOS>{{cite web|last=O'Reilly|first=Tim|title=The State of the Internet Operating System|url=http://radar.oreilly.com/2010/03/state-of-internet-operating-system.html|work=radar.oreilly.com|access-date=25 August 2011}}</ref> as consisting of various sub systems, such as media, payment, speech recognition, location, and identity.

=== Inner source ===
In 2001, O'Reilly coined the term [[inner source]] for the use of [[Open-source software|open source]] [[software development]] practices and the establishment of an [[Open-source model|open source-like culture]] within organisations whereby the organisation may still develop [[proprietary software]] but internally opens up its development.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/ask_tim/2000/opengl_1200.html|title=Open Source and OpenGL – O'Reilly Media|website=archive.oreilly.com|access-date=27 February 2017|archive-date=8 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180108055316/http://archive.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/ask_tim/2000/opengl_1200.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Algorithmic attention rents ===
Originally proposed by Tim O’Reilly, and developed further in collaboration with Ilan Strauss and [[Mariana Mazzucato]], “algorithmic attention rents” entails the use of a platform’s algorithms to allocate user attention to content which is more profitable or beneficial to the platform, at the expense of its ecosystem of users and third-party firms, content creators, website developers, etc.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Francisco |first=Danny Fortson, San |date= |title=Tim O'Reilly: how Big Tech became landlords of the internet |newspaper=[[The Times]] |url=https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/technology/article/tim-oreilly-how-big-tech-became-landlords-of-the-internet-g09d5l5cl |access-date=2024-03-04 |language=en |issn=0140-0460}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=O’Reilly |first1=Tim |last2=Strauss |first2=Ilan |last3=Mazzucato |first3=Mariana |date= |title=Algorithmic attention rents: A theory of digital platform market power |url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/data-and-policy/article/algorithmic-attention-rents-a-theory-of-digital-platform-market-power/D85FE41F6CF99FC57DDFB2B2B63491C5 |journal=Data & Policy |language=en |volume=6 |pages=e6 |doi= |issn=2632-3249 |archive-date=4 March 2024 |access-date=4 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240304142824/https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/data-and-policy/article/algorithmic-attention-rents-a-theory-of-digital-platform-market-power/D85FE41F6CF99FC57DDFB2B2B63491C5 |url-status=live }}</ref> Algorithms are used to degrade the quality of information shown to the user, as paid for and addictive content is promoted ahead of “organic” content which best meets users needs.

== Personal life ==
After graduating from Harvard, O'Reilly married his first wife, Christina, with whom he moved to the [[Boston]] area.<ref name="oracle"/> The couple raised two daughters, Arwen and Meara. Arwen is married to [[Saul Griffith]].<ref name=trend/>
