Collab Summit 2016

Tools - everyone loves (or hates) them. Developers love to argue over which tools are better than others (often while trying to build their own versions). CEO's want to drop them in to solve collaboration issues. CIO's hate having to choose, qualify, deploy and maintain them. At the end of the day, are tools really the only issue when it comes to building successful collaborative development projects? There's been an increasing amount of focus on innersource in the last several years - bringing open source best practices inside the corporate firewall to increase collaboration. In this talk, Guy Martin will discuss what he's learned about addressing cultural issues *before* deciding on a tool (or tools). He'll give examples and tips on how to assess your current culture and help prepare for whatever tool makes sense to build and sustain your collaborative development efforts.
