Schibsted is a proud partner to JavaZone, the biggest developer conference in Norway, and it was a joy to meet so many engaged people and listen to a variety of truly inspiring talks. We also had some of our own stars speaking on stage!
Open source – how to unveil its potential in large enterprises
Most people don’t realise how much we rely on free and open source software in our daily lives. Linux powers over 3 billion phones as well as the majority of all servers. Apache and Nginx run over 60% of the world’s websites, and a lot of infrastructure solutions like Kubernetes are also open source.
Johannes Gorset and Zuzanna Zygadlo-Stenberg took the audience through a journey of how Schibsted has created its open source strategy. Even though through the years, Schibsted has released several open source projects that are used by people and companies around the world, we would like to do more. We believe that both Schibsted and other companies have more software that can be useful to others and should be open sourced. This talk gave all listeners some practical tips on how to go about it and where to start.
