In this session, Ana Jiménez and Daniel Izquierdo will showcase best practices and a real-case analytical framework that shows the strategic value of open source management talent in risk management throughout the software supply chain.
The stability of software ecosystems relies heavily on the effective management of open source components across the supply chain. However, many organizations view these components solely as risks to be eliminated. What if we started treating these projects as partners?
In this session, Ana Jiménez and Daniel Izquierdo will showcase best practices and a real-case analytical framework that shows the strategic value of open source management talent in risk management throughout the software supply chain. They will explore how open source management can communicate the importance of these components to executives, identify bottlenecks affecting engineering teams, and leverage partnerships with open source project maintainers to enhance resource allocation and resilience
I work as a Senior Project Manager at the Linux Foundation, supporting an open source community spread across four continents with over 3,000 practitioners. I also contribute to research on open source management. Before this, I worked at Bitergia, a Software Development Analytics firm, and completed my MSc in Data Science, where my final thesis focused on measuring the success of #DevRel in open source development communities.
I’m passionate about Open Source, InnerSource, and developer community health metrics. I’ve contributed to several open source projects, including CHAOSS, InnerSourceCommons, OpenChain, TODO Group, OpenSSF, and CNCF.
Daniel Izquierdo is a researcher and co-founder of Bitergia and currently holding the position of CEO, he is focused on the quality of the data, research of new metrics, analysis and studies of interest for Bitergia customers via data mining and processing. Daniel earned a PhD in free software engineering in 2012 focused on the analysis of buggy developers activity patterns in the Mozilla community. He is board member at CHAOSS community, the Apereo Foundation, and President of the InnerSource Commons Foundation.
