Improving Enterprise Open Source Development Impact

Ibrahim Haddad, Vice President of Strategic Programs, Linux Foundation

Abstract

Enterprise open source development and involvement has its own set of challenges, but it becomes much easier if you have a clear plan to follow. If you're one of the growing list of companies that relies on open source software for their products and services, investing time and money into improving your open source practices can pay off immensely in the long run. Fortunately, there are many success stories of companies getting involved and becoming leaders in various open source domains that they charted a path you can follow to improve your own contributions and aim for a leadership role.

This talk offers a practical guide to a number of practices that enterprises can adopt to help them grow their footprint in open source projects and some of the lessons learned starting and operating open source program offices in the past two decades.
