Keynote: Apache Projects and Comcast’s Journey to Open Source

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

Comcast maps a decade of work into concrete actions: it builds the X1 operating system (2012) and a multi-tenant cloud video platform, relies on practically every Apache project, increases support as a Platinum sponsor, and open-sources about 85 repos with over 10,000 commits. An incubating project, Apache Traffic Control, runs in production to avoid CDN vendor lock‑in and attract contributors. An open source program office removes legal and process blockers, hires for scale, and prioritizes diversity to reduce bias in machine learning and product decisions.
