In this presentation, various common mistakes are discussed. Red Hat shares some examples, and we'd like to gather some from you, if you will provide others from your team or other organizations that apply during the presentation.
One of the challenges of doing business the open source way is the balance of experience and expectations in your employees and shareholders. Accurately practicing the principles of open source requires diligence and patience. Sometimes other instincts and requirements cross the pathway of essential community principles.
Putting your community principles first in action and in risk analysis is essential to accurate practice of the open source way.
Ironically, even the best organizations are not always the best at what they do. Sometimes they break every rule in The Open Source Way. In fact, every rule is being broken right now, somewhere inside of our favorite organizations.
