Open Source Management Strategies for communication with open source projects in companies The use of open source in enterprises is common, even in Germany. In many companies the imported source is being changed, bugfixed, made compatible with whatever or otherwise changed. Companies are using open source, changing it or contribute otherwise. This can take many forms, leading to company internal forks of software, public neglect of ubiquitous projects such as OpenSSL or Busybox, a variety of patches that are badly integrated into an upstream as in MySQL, or a wrestling for dominance in projects such as Hadoop and Openstack. ······························ Speaker: Kristian Köhntopp Event: FrOSCon 2014 by the Free and Open Source Software Conference (FrOSCon) e.V.
