Mark your calendars for Tuesday 15th October for our 18th OpenUK London community meetup. This month we are discussing the dichotomy of can open source even be a business? Following last month's Economics of Open Source report, we will dive into and discuss the results and talk about how you can get the most out of your most often free open source contributions or how could it be a business?
