If you are in the midst of creating (or even planning to implement) an open source governance policy for your organization, then you'll want to know Nigel Simpson.

Nigel has been leading an enterprise-wide working group with over 40 members, at a big entertainment and media company, to define his organization's open source software policy. Under his leadership, the working group then created an effective process for the review and approval of open source components that ensured the security, legal, IP and technical risks were being managed.

Nigel recently shared his experiences in building a policy to help his organization ban open source software risks, while avoiding unnecessary rework for thousands of developers worldwide.
