Title: Learned Helplessness and OSS – How to Avoid this Through Bridging the Gap Between Strategy, Community and Technical Culture
Abstract: When working within highly regulated enterprises, open source software consumption and contribution processes can be challenging. Many times within the technical culture space, there are perceived roadblocks that can get in the way of development which has unintended consequences. One of these being that the technologists do not know how to access their dependencies, resolve vulnerabilities and even upgrade specific package versions which then in turn springs off a line of support tickets for team members that are not familiar with OSS and slows down innovations. This can be a deterrent for many engineers and sometimes they just give up and follow the ticketing route. This talk is designed to show enterprises how to avoid this slow down through building a strong open source strategy and leverage Special Interest Groups. We will break down personas, maturity models, solutions, direct impact examples and how this work is also integrated within open source readiness SIG here at FINOS.
