5 open source principles that help organizational governance
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to work with many organizations of various sizes on a variety of projects. All of these projects had open source software at their core, and most contributed what they could back to the open source community.

The following are some insights into how open source principles can help organizations save money, reduce technical debt, and bust internal silos.
