Yes, you know this happens in quite a few cases. Like in companies that open source and contribute a significant part of what they create for their own needs - think Google, Facebook, PayPal and the like. Like in companies with a primary focus on an open source product as Mozilla for example. Like in companies that make heavy use of a specific open source platform or tool - and decide to give back through contributing to its development. Or like in working on academic projects funded by public money where the outcome is open sourced. But...

But what if the company you work for doesn't fit in any of the open source friendly cases?

Join us for a talk where we'll share our first-hand experience on how we managed to achieve this at Musala Soft - and we hope to convince you to try our approach for making a viable case your company would be willing to invest in.

We will tell you the story of how we established and maintain a full-time software development team contributing to openHAB and Eclipse SmartHome - and how we made it in a win-win-win scenario (company-team members-community). And this is without our company having any “need” to do it, nor hardly any direct or indirect interest in making use of the results of the team work or the platforms themselves.
