In this episode of The New Stack Analysts podcast, we talked to conference co-chairs of OSCON, the open source convention being held in Austin on May 8-11. Interview participants were: Rachel Roumeliotis, Strategic Content Director, O’Reilly Media, Inc. Scott Hanselman, Principal Program Manager, Microsoft. Kelsey Hightower, Google developer advocate. A few highlights from the conversation include: There will be a lot of discussion about collaboration and community. Topics will cover managing contributions in a large organization, incentivizing community members and how to leave a project. Outside of the actual sessions, expect lots of one-on-one mentoring in the hallways. Open source business models continue to be something people want to talk about even if there is no long-term plan to transition a project to a full-blown start-up. Hanselman made sure to let us know about the care with which speakers were picked. All the co-chairs are on the speaking circuit and didn’t want to hear the same old people giving the same old talk.
