MasterTips: Open Source with Nithya Ruff, Chris DiBona, Stormy Peters and Sam Ramji

Today's Under the Hood of Developer Marketing podcast episode is about Open Source.
And who is better to talk about it than an industry all-star panel!

This episode is part of our MasterTips series, which includes tips from industry leaders.
It is a panel discussion from the Future Developer Summit, an exclusive event for developer marketing industry leaders.

The discussion focuses on Open Source software and contributions, from the following industry all-stars:

  • Chris DiBona, Director of Open Source at Google,
  • Nithya Ruff, Executive Director of OSPO at Comcast,
  • Stormy Peters, Director of Open Source Office at Microsoft
  • And the panel moderator: Sam Ramji, CTO at DataStax

Some of the topics they discussed are:

  • How does your company decide when to contribute to Open Source?
  • Are there projects from hobbyists that drive major company contributions?
  • How can we open up Open Source?
  • Should we include non-developers in Open Source for content and use-cases?
  • What job title will help you be more successful in OSPO? Do you really need a title?

All these questions answered in the latest Under the Hood of Developer Marketing episode.
