No OSS, No Users: Why Investing in Open Source Matters - Pauline Vos

Description

At MongoDB, I help maintain the open-source tools that help PHP developers use our product. Without active, stable OSS, we shrimply wouldn't have any users. In this session, I'll share why open source is essential to your product's success, and how to get involved in the ecosystems that support it. Through real-world examples, you'll learn strategies for contributing effectively, the value of community trust, and getting leadership buy-in to invest engineering time in OSS. You'll leave with practical ways to strengthen your product by strengthening its open-source foundations.
