Using Open-Source in Your Corporation

Pratik Patel, Lead Technical Architect, AT&T

A common hurdle faced by many developers is getting approval of open-source products for use by their team. There are legal and intellectual property hurdles that you have to overcome. This is on top of any stigma that management may have about open-source software. In this session, we’ll focus on how to put together a case for using an open source product such as Apache Camel. We’ll discuss how to approach the standards body in your organization, how to craft slideware that can be distributed, and how to pitch to your management and standards organization.
