šŗ [Oct 28] GitBlame: Werewolf Happy Hour @GitHub Universe
CEO, OpenUK
Understanding open source licenses, governance, and strategic considerations for OSS businesses. Covers permissive vs. copyleft vs. BSL, open source business models, software supply chain implications, and the evolving regulatory landscape. Drawn from practitioners at HashiCorp, CNCF, and others.
One of the advantages of a bottom-up open source go-to-market is that when done well, itās the most efficient flywheel for product adoption, developer marketing, and inbound sales. The problem is that when teams attempt to cross the chasm into larger deals, thereās often a disconnect between what developers have already championed, and between what procurement and risks teams will allow. In this session we discuss what steps early founders can take to capture developer love, while still being taken seriously and whitelisted as enterprise OSS vendors.
