#vmware #opensource Over the years, there has been a shift away from software being engineered and maintained by just a few players to building up open source communities. Almost all proprietary software today has open source code embedded into it and companies are realizing the benefits of forging strategic communities to build ecosystems to solve problems in a new, collaborative way. In this episode of TFiR Let’s Talk, Swapnil Bhartiya catches up with Chip Childers, now Chief Open Source Officer at VMware, while at VMware Explore to talk about his own journey of open source and the key areas he is working on at VMware. He goes on to talk about the evolution of open source and what new open source challenges he is seeing at VMware.
