P99 CONF 2023 | Corporate Open Source Anti-Patterns: A Decade Later by Bryan Cantrill, Oxide

. . . . .
A little over a decade ago, I gave a talk on corporate open source anti-patterns, vowing that I would return in ten years to give an update. Much has changed in the last decade: open source is pervasive in infrastructure software, with many companies (like our hosts!) having significant open source components from their inception. But just as open source has changed, the corporate anti-patterns around open source have changed too: where the challenges of the previous decade were all around how to open source existing products (and how to engage with existing communities), the challenges now seem to revolve around how to thrive as a business without betraying the community that made it one in the first place. Open source remains one of humanity's most important collective achievements and one that all companies should seek to engage with at some level; in this talk, we will describe the changes that open source has seen in the last decade, and provide updated guidance for corporations for ways not to do it!

What a refreshing talk, thank you Bryan.

I would love Bryan’s thoughts on open source anti-patterns outside of the startup sphere. Especially with last years executive order from the US President, plenty of companies are realizing their entire business is built on top of some libraries that is maintained thanklessly by a tiny handful of people and using terminology like “supply chain” when large companies just consume & benefit from this labour without contributing back.

Methinks it's good to see that Oxide is built on Open Source Tech. I like the rack scale cloud native computer concept and wonder how this might fit with similar solutions in the Open Compute Project ...?
