In the new world of open source community developed software, participation is paramount. Support, features, and customization are all tied to getting enmeshed in communities of your choice.
Unfortunately, most companies don't know how to participate in open source. For those who do, legal issues remain. How to ensure outgoing and incoming code are clean? How to manage non-competes with employees participating in potentially competitive projects? This session will cover these and other related issues.
