Dawn Foster
Dawn Foster

This document discusses collaboration between individuals, companies, and communities in open source software projects. It addresses how individuals can contribute to projects, how companies can contribute resources and employees to projects, and how communities are made up of individuals. It then discusses strategies and plans for companies to contribute to open source, including aligning with business goals, identifying existing projects to contribute to, allocating resources, and measuring success. The document provides guidance on how companies can become good open source citizens, such as starting with small contributions, learning from feedback, and upstreaming patches. It emphasizes maintaining relationships with communities and attending events.
