This growth in the embedded Linux marketplace has created a complex multi-source software supply chain as developers combine in-house developed packages with packages easily found on sites managed by various associations or groups, as well as individuals who offer free code. Learning how to manage the open source development process has become crucial to organizations’ success and risk mitigation.
MontaVista and Black Duck Software will discuss how proper governance of open source can help realize the full benefits of the organization’s Linux-based embedded systems. Both companies will be available for a Q&A session immediately following the E-cast.
