The Open source principles of; open, transparent and meritous are applicable to a far broader scope and scale than software development. The Open Source principles have applications in all aspects of business in general and entrepreneurship specifically. What is "Open Source" entrepreneurship and how is it relevant to the software community?

Open Source Entrepreneurship is all about how start-ups and entrepreneurs conduct business, develop relationships and build partnerships. It is all about conducting business in a genuine, open and transparent way. Developing relationships based on trust, the spirit of freely giving advice and referrals based on the law of reciprocity. Partnerships built on the open source principles will have a stronger foundation and longevity than traditional purely "business" arrangements.

This session is Open Source Entrepreneurship 101.
