How can you and your business leverage Open Source better? Let's improve communication, quality, reputation and business value! Free, Libre and Open Source software permeates almost all businesses today; but how can we get more out of it? This isn't about the old Gratis vs. Free software discussion. It's about communication, culture, enthusiasm, quality, discipline, aesthetics and more! In this talk, we'll explore different realms of Open Source, and see what we can learn. We'll touch upon technologies that make us work better, on culture and habits that improve quality and trust, on ways Open Source can help you become a better and more valuable developer and employee, and on tips and tricks that can help you and your business get the most out of your Open Source Software ecosystem of choice. You can expect thought-provoking ideas around motivation, attitude, volunteerism, fruit and social skills in code. Hope to see you there! :) Salve J. Nilsen Salve J.
