Why Open Source contributions can be an asset to your Company and how to make them effectively
James Bottomley, SteelEye Technology
The first part of this presentation will focus on the corporate value of making open source contributions (with the Linux Kernel as an example, but the principle applies to any open source project). So, if you're an engineer wanting to work on Open Source, we'll try to tell you how to justify it to your boss. Likewise, if you are the boss, we'll explain how to derive value beyond the simple warm fuzzies of knowing you've done the right thing.
Once you have your company's OK to contribute, it's not as simple as dumping the code on the mailing list and running. The second half of this contribution will concentrate on how to make contributions effectively. Who the gatekeepers of the kernel are, what form the contribution should take and how to deal with the mailing lists.
