The open source ecosystem functions autonomously and represents a fundamental shift from traditional thinking. Open source really isn't about the applications, it's about the community of individuals that create powerful solutions to common problems. In this panel discussion, key open source leaders will discuss how to understand the fundamental principles of open source and the culture of the open source communities. The panel will also discuss why participation by employees is important to the success of open source projects within your business.
