The traditional view of open source sustainability often frames it as a choice: business value OR public good. We argue that this is a false dichotomy. Bloomberg's Open Source Program Office and Corporate Philanthropy team have partnered to develop a new template – one built on the power of "AND."

This presentation will explore how combining business value AND philanthropic impact creates a transformative approach to open source leadership. We'll share our strategic framework for achieving this "AND," demonstrating how it benefits companies, individuals, open source projects, and the world around us.

Join us to learn how to build similar partnerships within your organization and why corporate engagement in open source sustainability is more important now than ever to ensure the long-term health of the critical digital infrastructure underpinning our modern world.
