Rancher Live: Balancing Open Source Activities in Corporate Environments

Join the discussion about how to balance Open Source Activities in the context of corporate live. Based on Amanda and Kim's talk at KubeCon Europe 2025 in London - Achieving a balance between corporate goals and open source activities is essential for organizations that offer and rely on both commercial and open source technologies. This balance can be hard to achieve when you have goals, needed results, and resource constraints all pulling in different directions.

We will discuss few stuff around:

• How to take organizational goals and craft a plan to support both open source and corporate products.
• How to take users on a journey to determine the technologies (open source or otherwise) that are best for them.
• How to communicate to your leadership and organization what you do, why you are doing it, and what you hope to accomplish.
