3. Questions
What do open source organization bring to the OSS
ecosystem? Do we need them? How is their role evolving?
What is their value proposal? What services do they
offer? What can you expect from them?
Who do they address? Developers? Users? Both?
To what extend do they compete against each other or
complement each other ?
Why join an open source organization? What are the
benefits?
