Building an open source program can be both rewarding and challenging. The broad scope of a successful open source program requires cross-functional coordination between multiple teams with differing goals, focus areas, perspectives, and timelines, including legal, engineering, design, product, business, marketing, and branding. When you’re operating at a global scale, these challenges are magnified. This talk will address how open source leads can serve as enablers of building a collaborative open source program at their company. This presentation will also discuss the challenges of building an open source program at a hypergrowth global company and how to streamline processes to develop a supportive and collaborative open source culture.
