Session
This Presentation is about how to contribute to or to launch an Open Source project (also called “outbound open source”) as a company.
It aims to describe a process, that can be implemented in companies of any size (large but also small or medium
sized organizations). Companies can tailor the proposed procedure to their needs. I.e., depending on the size and situation of the
company not all steps need to be implemented.
Although the provided information does not guarantee the success of such an endeavor it is proven in use and very helpful
for decision-making, launching and maintaining.
The procedure and background information is available as a “guide” and on GitHub under https://github.com/todogroup/outbound-oss
