In Q1 of 2022, Spotify decided to establish a FOSS fund. In this session, Per Ploug will cover what the practical challenges were and what underlying assumptions, ideas, and strategies brought us to this decision.

The session presents our strategic thinking behind establishing a FOSS fund and attempts to go beyond the premise of "because it's the right thing to do" but rather focuses on why it from a business objective makes sense to do what we did.
