Description COOL January 2022 edition:

It is now generally accepted that a company cannot simply start to use Open Source software in products but needs a strategy. Such strategy must, of course, be introduced in close collaboration between the management, legal department and other departments that may need to be included depending on the type of the company. And it is also generally accepted that a company-wide policy is needed to get everybody in a company who is involved in the handling of Open Source software acquainted with it. However, it may sometimes be ignored that the story does not stop at this point, but the next important step is to establish a concept of training courses, workshops and seminars to ensure that the policy is not only established but also followed. Such training concepts may need to be fine-tuned to a particular company, but there certainly are general rules and recommendations that can be given. Open Source training concepts are exactly the topic of this COOL session which is undertaken in the hope that others can learn from the experiences gained in a particular company. In the basic lecture Jan Altenberg, OSADL, will deal with strategies to raise awareness and motivate everybody in a company to actually attend such training courses while the advanced lecture on "Concepts of company-wide Open Source training" by Stéphane Rambaud, Continental, will tell how this can be done in a large corporation. Based on his practical experience, Stéphane will tell how company-wide Open Source trainings can be created, rolled-out and maintained. OSADL is very grateful to Stéphane for accepting the invitation to speak at COOL.

Recommended audience COOL January 2022 edition:

Open Source officers, software developers and system integrators, internal legal department, external legal advisors, purchase department employees who deal with Open Source software, employees of QA departments, employees of HR departments, etc.
