Organizations Learning to Contribute to FOSS �The Right Way�

“A couple weeks ago I wrote that I would be attending the 4th
Annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit. I wrote about much of
my experience there and at the Open Source Business Conference back
in March over in my personal blog: “Lessons from Open Source
Business Conference and the Linux Foundation Collaboration
Summit”.

“However, I also wanted to make a post here to cycle back to
some of what I learned from the Collaboration Summit in relation to
my March 30th post about contributing, “How and why contributing to
FOSS can benefit your organization”. In this post I discussed using
community tools, getting involved in the community and what steps
you could take to get there. This was based upon several years of
my own involvement in the FOSS (Free/Open Source Software)
community directly and now my experience working for a company
which makes FOSS contributions.

“The talks at the Collaboration Summit strengthened my resolve
in and increased the clarity of my understanding about the right
way of going about contributing to FOSS as a company.”
