The primary purpose of the TODO group is to bring together companies who run open source programs. They believe there are a number of challenges for companies who want to run open source projects and programs effectively. They discovered that we had only rarely even shared our own experiences, and formed this group to help improve shared knowledge about running such programs. I spoke at one of their meetings 17 Jan 2017 at the Yahoo Sunnyvale offices. For more information http://todogroup.org/
