В своей презентации я бы хотел рассказать о своем личном опыте в OpenSource. Начиная от контрибьюта в популярные проекты и публикации своих проектов на GitHub до участия в процессе отбора и развития OpenSource решений Презентация позволит взглянуть на OpenSource с разных сторон и понять зачем это нужно как для обычного инженера, так и для большой компании

• Can’t understand/No examples
• Better OpenSource products present
• Unclear contribute procedure

FIRST PROBLEMS

30. VIQA и GGA Selenium – both in OpenSource but
• Small amount of users (10-20 men)
• No one contribute. Developed only by authors
Pros:
• VIQA – Flexible architecture
• GGA Selenium – many different functions
30
GGA + VIQA = JDI
