Session Title
Growing Open Source Culture Inside Sony
Session Description
This session shares challenges and efforts as an Open Source Program Office (OSPO) to grow open source culture within Sony. The challenges have been building the open-source program, growing the open-source culture within Sony, and learning how to collaborate with OSS communities.
After Sony started using Linux in products in the early 2000s, Sony built its open-source program from the point of view of technology and OSS licenses and Sony’s relationship with OSS communities. OSS license committee consists of business unit representatives, including R&D, the legal department, and the IP department. This committee promotes open-source culture by sharing policy and guidelines, hosting internal events, and training. Sony contributes to growing communities in the embedded systems area. Since its early days, through our community liaison staff (who are members of the Linux development community), we communicated with the community, made contributions to the kernel and other projects, and helped establish the Embedded Linux Conference, and worked with others to enhance this community.
This session will explain these three challenges and how Sony has worked to foster a culture of acceptance, involvement, and education of Open Source within Sony through our OSPO.
