5 minConvene & roll call
40 minEvaluating an open source dependency for use and contributionJames Vasile (Open Tech Strategies)

James will discuss the considerations that go into onboarding a new open source component into a software product, including evaluating: the license and other legal considerations; the health and sustainability of the open source community around the project; and what support options are available (and desirable) depending on the use case.

  • Context: what is the code going to be used for (internal use, distribution,..)

    • Look at bug tracker. The more issues, the better.
    • Responsiveness to issues. The faster, the better.
    • Code release frequency. The higher, the better
