[edit] Session Notes

There is goodness in competition. Groups are always competing and are rewarded for beating their competitors. This applies from the personal level all the way through large companies competing for huge contracts.

Flip Side

Share and open source provide transparent and aggregated information and reduce spin up time.

Great, so how do you balance and reward both activities? at personal level? at organizational level? etc.

Session and previous speakers noted need to incentivise people and teams to share. There were very few actual solutions on how to do that provided. What are the good ideas that need to be implemented to help create culture change from hoarding to sharing?
