Open Source and I: Freedom, Love and Contribution

Open source means taking control over your business-critical software, but where does your company and you as an individual belong in an open source community? What is contribution and community really about, and is it necessary? What would the world look like if everything was open source? Let's try to answer these questions with the TYPO3 project as an example.

This presentation looks at the role of the "me", "us", and "they" in open source software, and how participation in sharing and community can bring a new meaning to your business and personal life—as well as the world in general. How does things change when you embrace community software?

This is a talk for you who is new to open source, but also experienced open sourcerers, who will find that the talk will put their work into a larger perspective.
