Have you ever worked on a project that didn't use any open source tools, libraries, or products? Didn't think so...Using open source has been such an integral part of our daily work life that we don't even think about it. We just expect it to be available, secure, stable, and bug-free. But how many of you are actually contributing back to an open source project?
This session will go through a couple of the aspects to consider when you are embarking on your open source journey. We will look at different kinds of open source projects, and what the open source foundations bring to the table.
