The Craft of Open Source

Joseph (JJ) Jacks, OSS Capital

Our current reality would be so much different if the software and websites we're using now would be open core. However, admittedly, this industry is still very niched. Going deeper into that, we also have what is called a Commercial Open Source (COSS). Ben Rometsch helps unravel this category by sitting down with Joseph Jacks of OSS Capital in today's discussion. Joseph is a COSS missionary, and he shares with us what it really means and why he thinks there are great growth and acceleration in it now, even in the pandemic. Bringing a different perspective, Ben then invites Matt Althauser of Flagsmith to share his input on what he saw changed when he made a move from close core to open core.
