Collaboration Summit 2014

Linux and thousands of other open source projects are routinely shared between organizations and people of all stripes, so why can’t most companies get developers in Building A to talk to their counterparts in Building B?

Many organizations’ use of open source has evolved from tactical to strategic and from infrastructure to mission-critical applications. This presentation from Guy Martin (Senior Open Source Strategist, Samsung), and Phil Odence (VP, Black Duck) will discuss how to leverage open source’s ethos, processes and tools to help companies realize significantly increased innovation, faster time to deployment and a host of other benefits.

This session should be of general interest and particularly to that majority of open source developers who also wear a corporate hat and would love to see their companies act more like open source projects.


The more companies buy into the internal benefits of open source technology and methods, the more supportive they will be of their developers doing the right thing and contributing back to the community.
