10. Gain from the
community
Why
Build bridges
Reach other

Fusion Tech Talks

11. Why
Gain from the community: attract respected developers from the
open source communities; have others fix bugs and contribute new
features (e.g., Miguel de Icaza)
Reach other markets: sell software to other platforms; profit from
support
Build bridges: bring together communities with similar concerns
Trust the source: companies will respect more a package if they
can see what’s inside and even change it
Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t we!
