In case you missed it…
We recently hosted an enlightening Apereo Micro Conference featuring Dr. Manuel Hoffmann, a postdoctoral scholar from Harvard Business School and Stanford University. In this insightful session, Dr. Hoffmann explored the value of open-source software (OSS) and its profound impact on technology, education, and global innovation.
Key highlights include:
Economic Value of OSS: An estimated impact of $5–80 trillion globally.
OSS in Cutting-Edge Tech: Supporting advancements in AI, quantum computing, and big data.
Firm Insights: How organizations depend on OSS for cost efficiency and innovation.
Challenges & Opportunities: Addressing gaps in OSS contributions and its quality.
Dr. Hoffmann’s data-driven approach sheds light on why OSS is indispensable in education and technology. This session is a must-watch for faculty, administrators, IT professionals, EdTech leaders, and open-source developers looking to better understand and advocate for OSS.
