Proving your worth as an Open Source Program office
As open source continues to permeate businesses, becoming an ever more critical activity when realising organizational goals and objectives, this talk will provide insight into how Open Source Program Offices can be pivotal in demonstrating and qualifying the value of open to today’s modern enterprises.
Attaching value, more often than not financially above others, to the efforts of open source program offices, contributors and the open source methodology is a challenging. Through exploring this topic the session will present an approach to embedding open source visibility at all levels of an organisation.
