      Abstract for presentation by Andrew Katz: 

      As open source projects become key (and in many cases central) to companies’ business objectives, companies must address the whole of the software lifecycle, from inception, licence selection, interaction with existing projects, compliance with licences and standards, both short- and long-term maintenance and avoidance of lock in. 

      In this talk, Andrew Katz will cover current issues which are being addressed by these companies, with particular reference to governance and community engagement, the interaction between licences and community norms, which internal projects may be better suited to an open-source approach, and the importance of planning the software lifecycle, including considering the end-users' requirements (in both the private and public sectors).
