Contributing to Open Source has many benefits. Learning from more developers about coding paradigms, other technologies, and different takes on software development. You may even have thought about releasing some of your own or your company's code to OSS, sharing your experience and expertise with others. Last year, I did just that: releasing components and frameworks we use in Shop Your Way over the last 10 years for everyone to use and see. In this session, we'll talk about what you need to think about when you want to release a pre-existing piece of code to the the public, what the team can gain from having OSS project, the obstacles you may stumble along the way and how to overcome them.
