Is moving to open source a solution for finding talent and funding? | Online workshop
Thursday, 30 September 2021, 10am - 11:30am
The open-source model provides a range of potential advantages, but is often not well understood, especially from a monetisation perspective. Understanding the pros and cons of this approach, including the philosophical aspects, is key to establishing whether it will work for your business, and knowing where to start.
This workshop is recommended for anyone interested in understanding the pros and cons of using and/or developing an open-source product. The session will provide a general overview, as opposed to a technical deep dive, and will suit a business audience.
Cost: Free
