Business Track Overview
For many of our early years, most didn’t understand the business component of open source. And as a result, we didn’t host many sessions focused on it.
But my how times have changed! Nearly everyone now understands the impact of open source on business models and operations, and they want to know and learn more.
Some of the world’s top experts will be featured on the track this year discussing truly interesting topics.
See who and what will be covered below, and plan now to attend and participate.
