OpenChain Webinar #7 – Lessons Learned + Future Leaders – 9am Pacific, Monday 6th of July

By 2020-07-03July 6th, 2020Featured

This Monday at 9am Pacific (Monday midnight Beijing/Taipei, 1am Seoul/Tokyo) we will hold our seventh webinar. We will cover two strategic topics. VM (Vicky) Brasseur will open with a discussion on Lessons Learned over her wide-ranging career in open source and business. Katy Gibson and Robert Grannells will then discuss how an initiative in the UK is fostering Future Leaders in our field, a timely topic given recent observations by parties like Linus regarding the challenge of finding new blood to take over old projects.

This is part of the bi-weekly OpenChain Webinar series. Every two weeks we have international speakers covering a wide range of topics related to practical open source compliance challenges, solutions and considerations.
