Join Percona’s Chief Evangelist, Colin Charles as he presents 2017 Year in Review for Open Source Database Software on Wednesday, December 13, 2017 at 7:00 am PST / 10:00 am EST (UTC-8).
2017 is soon coming to an end, and it’s good to pause and take a look at the past year to see the impact of new software release. Colin will discuss the changes, growth and trends that have affected software producers and enterprises using open source.
Key topics will include:
- How has the software supply chain landscape changed over the last year?
- Are organizations more or less aware of the OSS they’re using?
- What are the impacts of broader OSS adoption?
- Lessons learned from this year’s OSS vulnerabilities
- What organizations can do to improve their processes in/around OSS usage?
- Companies open sourcing their own code
