As more and more businesses and people depend on open source software, critical technologies you rely on need to be sustained. Open source projects need a neutral, independent organization to help manage infrastructure and grow communities over the long term.
Jon Galloway outlines what open source software foundations do for projects, the community, and the open source ecosystem as well as the importance of corporations and individuals getting involved.
This session is sponsored by Microsoft.
