I'm extremely excited to announce that one of our legacy members,
David Nalley, will be presenting at our December meeting. David is
the Director of Open Source Strategy at Amazon Web Services. His talk
is entitled:
Consequences of Winning: Open Source's Next Era.
Open source has won. It's now the de facto development
methodology, and even old enemies who declared open source a cancer
have become friendly. What does the future hold? What are the
consequences of having won? From licensing to AI (yes, every talk must
mention AI at least once to get a speaking slot) to regulation and
security, we'll cover all of the good, bad, and ugly consequences of
winning.
You may have read an interview he did that was published yesterday at
