Bring the Solution Then Ask for Permission

Open source in the corporate world is often counterintuitive, since the norms, practices and processes are very different, or at least they seem like. But it doesn't have to be that scary and complicated as it looks.

In this episode of the My Open Source Experience podcast, guests talk about their experience with making open source work within a company, to the extent of working upstream. Topics cover management layers, corporate structure, change management and how individuals experience participating in open source communities.
