Open source has become mainstream; but not everyone knows what the term really means or how to succeed with it. New legal regulations such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) in the EU will raise further awareness and require everyone to pay closer attention to open source software. However, there are also equal pressures to streamline and cut costs, often resulting in scaling back open source programs.

This panel brings you speakers in different job roles, including community manager, OSPO program compliance manager, open source maintainer, and standards lead. The panelists will explore their responsibilities, interactions and strategies for success to capture why each of these roles are critical to the success and sustainability of the open source ecosystem, whether we look at open source projects or corporate organizations whose products and services depend on open source.

Join us to learn about how you can build and leverage versatile teams to succeed with open source sustainably!
