Open Source Summit + AI_dev Japan 2024

What are the advantages of using OSS? - Is it because it is free to use? - Is it because you can start using the latest features? - Is it because everyone else is using it? I believe all of these reasons are correct, but the value becomes even greater by not only using OSS but also engaging more deeply with the OSS community. How should you handle bug fixes and feature additions when using OSS? - Should you maintain patches internally within the company? - Should you modify the source code to implement unique features internally since it is open source? The best practice in the OSS world is to participate in the OSS community and address these issues within the community. In this session, I will share the value of using the OSS community and talk about easy ways to get started with community activities. I will also share tips for engaging with the community. Additionally, I will introduce the CNCJ(Cloud Native Community Japan), which was established to be more active to the cloud-native community in Japan, and training for participating the Kubernetes community which is subchapter of CNCJ.
