Gilles Viton
Head of Community open source program at Orange France
My background : Architect specialist of telco IS and BI during 15 years, and Software Asset Manager at Orange France for 6 years.
I became head of the Community Open Source Program at Orange France since 2017 where I developed a financial engineering to facilitate partnerships with the open source ecosystem. I am convinced that sharing knowledge on how to deploy Open Source in industry is a central point to facilitate its ecosystem sustainability for industrial purposes. To encourage this, I am involved in the open source ecosystem in TOSIT as Vice President and in OW2 board as the representative of Orange. I also initiate a lot of sharing experiences with other affiliates within Orange Group.
Session
As the software engineering field gets more mature, properly managing open source software and culture within organisations has become more important and needed than ever. In this context, the Good Governance Initiative offers a much-needed set of actionnable guidelines to hep frame, build and develop OSPOs within any type of organisation.
During this roundtable, we will discuss OSPOs, their role and duties, and share experience and best practices with our panelists.
