This module covers an introduction to the business, strategic & programmatic elements of open source, and forms the core content within the ‘Strategy & Governance’ section of the open source framework. Understanding these elements is crucial because they form the backbone of effective open source utilization and engagement with the open source ecosystem.
This course is designed primarily for a leadership audience (Executives, Program and Engineering Managers).
The key to a successful open technology project is to ensure a neutral playing field for all developers, technologists, and companies to collectively contribute to project evolution and growth. The Linux Foundation was built on the idea of the democratization of code and scaling adoption, for all projects equally. Expert legal and governance support programs ensure everyone is on the same playing field.
