Best Practices SIG: Open Source Governance Best Practices Presentation September 3, 2008

Open source's easy download and lack of licensing fees provides IT organizations with much-needed agility and cost-effectiveness -- but presents a challenge to organizations in terms of tracking usage and ensuring license compliance. This presentation will discuss how organizations like the US Department of Defense are moving from ad hoc to formal governance in their open source use. Learn about a five phase process to implement best practices in open source governance and how your organization can begin implementing formal open source governance.

Presenter:
Bernard Golden, founder and CEO of Navica, is a recognized authority on open source software.
