And he still has some more ideas in mind... ;-)
Session
When software dies or your company gets acquired, giving up isn’t an option – at least not for Open Source enthusiasts. This talk tells the story of an Open Source team that took its future into its own hands. It highlights where theory collides with practice and why developers sometimes need to seize the reins themselves.
