Abstract

Open Source is eating the world especially in Data Science and Machine Learning. In this talk, I review some of the business models around open source based on my direct and indirect experience. I discuss some of the opportunities that connecting business and open source can bring to the world as well as the challenges introduced both to businesses and to open source communities. Finally, ideas for how to organize business activities around open source software in ways that are supportive rather than exploitative are provided in an effort to ensure that open source communities continue to thrive and grow.
