Codevelopment Strategies: Techniques for multiple teams to work together on large-scale open source projects. Sustainability Tactics: Funding models, contributor incentives, and community management that nurture long-term project health. Practical Examples: Case studies of successful collaborations that support development, enhance deployment processes, and streamline maintenance. Creating High-Value Services: Ways to add unique value to open-source offerings that go beyond standard service packages. Intended Audience: This talk is crafted for open-source developers, project maintainers, business strategists, community managers, and infrastructure specialists who are seeking to drive value and sustainability within their open-source projects through collaboration.

Outcome: The attendees will acquire strategic insights into establishing strong partnerships, effectively managing shared resources, and innovating within the open source domain.
