Without open source standards, the Internet would not    exist. This article would not exist. Those of you whose parents    met on Match.com would not exist. All of you should be thankful    for open source software. Now, as the world has changed, open    source softwares principles of openness, transparency and    meritocracy have become essential standards for leadership in general.  <\/p>\n<p>    Mike Milinkovich of Eclipse, a community    for individuals and organizations who wish to collaborate on    commercially-friendly open source software, took me    through his thoughts on those principles during a conversation    at the HATCH    experience.  <\/p>\n<p>    Openness  <\/p>\n<p>    Open source software design is open to all comers.    Anyone can contribute. Everyone is invited to contribute. This    is about the wisdom of crowds with each contributing in their    own way.  <\/p>\n<p>    Transparency  <\/p>\n<p>    Complete transparency. To every line of code. To every project    parameter. To every decision. The objective is for anyone    coming in to be able to see what has been done before and why.    This way newcomers can get onboard and contribute faster.  <\/p>\n<p>    Meritocracy  <\/p>\n<p>    Everyone has to earn his or her way in. Those most committed    and most deserving are invited in once they have earned those    invitations.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>See the article here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/georgebradt\/2014\/11\/25\/why-open-leadership-has-become-essential\" title=\"Why Open Leadership Has Become Essential\">Why Open Leadership Has Become Essential<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> You would not be reading this if open source software did not exist. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-open-source-software"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27657"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27657"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27657\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/euvolution.com\/open-source-convergence\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
