Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2020

There is a lot of debate about how to make a business based on open source software, but what if you're coming from the perspective of a company that already has commercially successful, proprietary offerings? How can you persuade your sales team, your commercial leaders, and your investors that it will be good for business to start giving source code away for free? Why should a company invest engineering resources in other people's open source projects, when there is plenty of work to be done on your own products? In this talk, Liz will share the approach that Aqua Security has taken to embrace open source and make it a fundamental pillar of its overall strategy. She will share practical steps and learnings that could help you unlock the open source potential for your own business.
