Hybrid MI Python: Transitioning to Professional Open Source Leadership

What happens when you transition from being a community contributor to leading major open source projects professionally? This talk shares concrete steps taken in the first six months of leading open source initiatives at Anaconda, including creating an open source strategy, establishing project standards, and identifying internal contribution opportunities. You'll see real examples of bringing structure to open source work in a corporate environment - what worked, what didn't, and what's still in progress. Whether you're considering a similar transition or looking to bring more structure to your open source work, you'll leave with practical examples of how to approach these challenges. Attendees will learn:

• How to develop an initial open source strategy
• Approaches to setting basic project standards
• Ways to identify internal opportunities for open source work
• Realistic views of early progress and ongoing challenges
