My Open Source Experience   Balancing Contributing Upstream with Daily Business Activities
Channel: OpenInfra Foundation
Date: 2023-06-29

Open Community, one of the key tenets of the Four Opens, describes a community as a cohesive, inclusive, level playing ground where all the voices are heard and anyone can rise to leadership positions. Sustainable open source projects embrace this mentality, removing barriers for individuals and organizations of all sizes from around the world to collaborate. However, participating in an upstream community can often be challenging. As organizations enter the open source ecosystem, they often need to go through a cutural and mindset change to integrate open collaboration into their business and processes and help their employees balance their community work with day-to-day activities and become upstream contributors. This panel is comprised of active contributors in the OpenStack community to share their open source experience in how they joined the project, what challenges they've overcome and how they've been balancing business and open collaboration.
