Business growth strategy for OSS companies 🎤 Host of The Business of Open Source

Let's talk about events. Events — big, small, ones you organize, ones other people organize — are both an important component of community building for open source projects and a way for companies, including open source companies, to get leads and get customers. I'm not an event expert, so I talked with Brian Proffitt of Red Hat, who is. We recorded an episode of The Business of Open Source at an event (Open Source Summit EU), and talked about lead-gen events versus community events, how to think about ROI of events, especially if you need to justify event attendance to a superior, and what to do to increase the likelihood that you'll actually get the ROI you want from an event. Check out the episode here: https://lnkd.in/e4k3SX28 And speaking of events: Are you going to All Things Open? If so, come to my talk on Tuesday and reach out if you'd like to chat. https://lnkd.in/eP2HH925
