Abstract
Collectively, we struggle to consistently define the value of open source and work supporting open source projects. Without clear value attributed to open source projects and development, it can be difficult to justify investment in open source projects, especially as many continue to rely on open source solutions as a source of cost savings. This talk will discuss longstanding and novel economic, social and operational models and whether or not they can be an effective method to measure the value of open source projects and contributions. Our goal is to further our collective ability to articulate the value of open source.
