What makes some businesses consider Open Source a sexy strategy while others consider it a waste of time?
What’s it like to market to a community where everyone is hands on in the end product?
This week’s podcast zooms in on another part of the technology tribe: Open Source. We’re joined by Mark Hinkle, Senior Director of Open Source Solutions at Citrix and career-long Open Source nerd.
We cover:
