Business Success with Open Source: Strengthen Your Business with Free and Open Source Software
Free and open source software (FOSS) is the whetstone of the cutting edge. Your company is almost certainly using FOSS right now, whether you know it or not. FOSS is already part of your company, so you need to know how to manage it effectively and strategically. If you're participating in a digital transformation effort, or reducing business risk, or building a product roadmap, or creating a company or team strategy, or if you need to round out your existing open source knowledge by filling in some gaps, this is the information you need.
Discover how to use, contribute to, and release open source projects effectively and strategically for your business. Avoid the dangers inherent in license compliance and other intellectual property matters. Incorporate community management to bolster the sustainability of projects that are critical to your company. Manage your software supply chain to track and maintain the projects your company relies on. Create policies and procedures both for inbound and outbound FOSS engagement. Develop tactics for community management to ensure corporate open source efforts remain on target for business goals.
Build your free and open source software strategy and go from accidental to intentional.
