Open source is everywhere. It’s in your phone and in your car. It’s flying satellites to orbit and helping cure diseases. It’s powering today’s economy. Latest survey finds it in 96% of code bases, in which it represents more than half of the lines of code. And yet… whereas every company uses it, few contribute back. And so we hear of resource-strapped projects, security concerns, maintainer burnout, and sustainability issues. There’s even a conference specifically about the latter. But what initially seems like a tragedy of the commons is actually a gigantic opportunity. There is more to contributing to open source than “doing the right thing” or “paying it forward.” We help companies understand the benefits they can get from contributing to open source and set them up on a path to so successfully and sustainably.
