#Businesses that don’t #use

“
Jim Zemlin, Linux Foundation chief
Open source is code and
community
Open source is
all about people
Open source is not “free”
Our story and what
we learned
Build your business on top of Open Source
Don’t reinvent the wheel
but think twice!
Is product ready for production?
When it will be ready?
Can you maintain it?
Will it save you some time and money?
Good code doesn’t sell
You can learn from
good code!
BDD
TDD
Coding best practices
Large project organisation
Free consulting services
Your code will be reviewed by best developers
Your code will be reviewed for free
They will probably tell some nasty words about
your “amazing code”
You will get consulting for free
Contributing is hard
You need time and budget
It is good thing to do
It is hard to do it while you are doing
project for clients
Open Source is good
sales channel
Agencies and clients are following GitHub
You can boost your visibility
You can boost your skills
Networking is amazing
You will meet a lot of smart and cool people
You will get some new partners
You will learn a lot about communities and how
they work
You can contribute
without writing code
Reporting issues is also contributing
Talking at some events is also contributing
Doing any kind activity to promote some project
is contributing
Say thank you!
Twitter, facebook, GitHub
It doesn’t matter just say thank you, it means a lot
What happen?
Higher visibility
Invitations to events and conferences
We are known as Symfony and Sylius experts
New clients, new business opportunities
How to start?
Start small
Do some testing, report issues
Do your libraries as Open source
Go to conferences
