How to be a Corporate Open Source Citizen

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Companies open source as a strategy and the useful details are concrete: stop making GitHub a dumping ground, set up independent governance (foundation or ASF-style trustees), commit to long‑term support and retire plans, and run real collaboration programs like paid bootcamps and contributor compensation. Anti‑patterns include one‑way benevolent releases and exploiting unpaid labor. Be prepared to fight harassment with legal and operational support; Docker’s public harassment response is cited as a worked example.
