Gil Yehuda runs the Open Source Program Office at Yahoo and presented a talk highlighting some of the governance issues facing corporate based open source program offices. Here are the slides along with a presentation summary below. <iframe src="//www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/vTNvkwIXN4pmr8" width="595" height="485" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" style="border:1px solid #CCC; border-width:1px; margin-bottom:5px; max-width: 100%;" allowfullscreen> </iframe> <div style="margin-bottom:5px"> <strong> <a href="//www.slideshare.net/gyehuda/your-open-source-program-office" title="Your Open Source Program Office" target="_blank">Everything You Always Wanted to Know About a Corporate Open Source Program Office (...but were afraid to ask).</a> </strong> presented by <strong><a target="_blank" href="//www.gilyehuda.com">Gil Yehuda</a></strong> </div>

Gil made the case that medium to large tech companies needs an Open Source Program Office. The tech industry acknowledges the ubiquity of open source in the coprorate tech stack as well as in products, yet companies face governance issues that need to be addressed properly, consistently, and with goals in mind. He noted that Jim Zemlin noted at the event keynote that only about 30% of the tech copmanies surveyed had basic Open Source Governance policies in place, let alone a mature process to manage their involvement in Open Source. The industry needs to improve this, since corporate contributions to Open Source are an incresingly important part of the ecosystem.

Gil focused on six of the most common aspects of governance. He detailed how an Open Source program office addresses inbound use of Open Source code, M&A deals, publication of code to existing projects as well as new open source projects, product reveiew to ensure compliance of distributed code, and the abundance of employee generated questions that often come up related to copyright, work for hire, and code with unclear provenance. Gil's thesis was that an OSPO is essential to helping your copmany meet its open source goals and helps improve the overal quality of engineering too. He concluded with an invitation to reach out to us, the TODO Group, to help get started.
