Today our guest is Jonas Rosland, Open Source Community Manager at {code} by Dell EMC. The {code} community has become an active way for the Dell EMC ecosystem to participate in open source projects. There are currently 3700 members in this community, and Jonas forecasts even more future growth. In this episode we really enjoyed speaking with Jonas about his background of developer advocate to community manager. Jonas goes into finer detail about the {code} Catalyst program and hisrole as a community leader, and how important it is to them to use the program as a way to thank those who are out there interfacing on behalf of Dell EMC, and to keep a good balance between the internal and external engagement. Leading and managing an open source community inside one of the world's largest technology giants is not an easy task, but Jonas finds much motivation with real life examples, such as his colleagues in Japan finding their work lives easier because of the {code} Catalyst program. Finally, we talked about perception with big companies' involvement in open source. Jonas feels Dell EMC sets a great example of how a large traditional company can interact with the open source community and we appreciate his dedication to making sure the goal is to integrate with projects in the larger open source ecosystem.
