Key findings include:
Open source use has become commonplace among tech and non-tech companies alike with 72% of companies frequently using open source for non-commercial or internal reasons and 55% using open source for commercial products.
Last year, the TODO Group published an initial set of guides focused on the art of open source program management. This year, we plan to continue to update and publish new guides to help our peers in industry to scale out their open source programs and learn from our lesson. Today we are happy to publish a guide on what happens when you are faced with setting an open source strategy for your organization.
Almost every developer uses open source code. But not every organization has an open source policy or a formal program to manage how it is used or produced. The TODO Group has partnered with The Newstack to build the first ever open source programs survey.
Some of the questions we ask include:
