Open Source has been inspiring and enabling new technology innovation at an unprecedented rate over the past several years. At the same time, Open Source has been radically disruptive to the industries in which it has taken hold. Looking at the OpenDaylight project, OPNFV, Fd.io, and Open-O we see the immense transformation occurring across the Networking and Telecom industries and the significant impact it is having on the companies involved. In this talk, Phil Robb, Senior Director of Technical Operations at the Linux Foundation will provide insights into how to launch and stabilize an industry-wide Open Source collaboration such as OpenDaylight. He will also share the successes and challenges witnessed in companies participating in Open Source for the first time as they wrangle with the cultural, legal, political, and process-oriented changes required to adapt.
