The Role of Foundations in Today's Open Source

The rise of software development forges like GitHub has dramatically reduced friction to create and run open source projects. In this context, what is the role of Foundations today, in the wider open source ecosystem? In this talk, Thierry Carrez, General Manager at the Open Infrastructure Foundation and vice-chair of the Open Source Initiative, will share his vision on this topic. After a quick history of open source Foundations, this talk will present a landscape of the type of open source Foundations in activity today, with their differences in scope and principles, then focus on the value add of modern Foundations: enabling open collaboration across several organizations by providing a range of services to the supported project.
