What does it mean to have an open source project at a company? How do small projects differ from large ones? How can you separate the concerns and feature requests of a company with those of a community? What benefits can a company gain from having a healthy open source project? How can you grow a healthy community around a project being led by a company?

Jessica Frazelle and Dino Dai Zovi—technologists who have spent their careers managing the balancing act between community and commercial perspectives—address these questions and discuss how to be effective at open source in your company.
