Ever wondered if open source could be the secret sauce to the success of your business? Felicity Brand hosts a conversation between Jeffrey A Maguire and Mathias Bolt Lesniak about this very issue. We share remarkable insights from Mathias's recent DrupalCon presentation, 'The Big Impact of Open Source', that triggers thought-provoking questions. Together, we dig into the correlation between open source and business, its role in societal improvement, and the personal gains it offers. Experience first-hand our open source journey as we ponder the worth of open source for business and society. We also shed light on the diversity within open source communities that leads to more informed outcomes and a strong ROI. 

We move past the conventional understanding of open source being merely about software creation. We discuss the pivotal role of the TYPO3 Association in using open source as an effective tool for international aid and development. We connect the dots between open source and democracy to form self-organizing communities. We also lay out the potential for governments to adopt open source software for open data platforms. We wrap up with a stimulating debate on the need for collaboration and marketing within the open source realm and the necessity for unity among its communities. Tune in for a mind-opening dialogue on the far-reaching impacts of open source.
