A Bird's Eye View of Open Source with Matt Yonkovit

A Bird's Eye View of Open Source with Matt Yonkovit

Matt Yonkovit, Head of Open Source Strategy at Percona, joins me for a conversation about Percona’s work and their robust history in open source. Percona has been at it for 15 years now and Matt’s work there is both prolific and sets him up to be very well informed about open source strategy at large.


In this episode, Matt discusses what exactly his job means within the context of Percona, and how he covers down to help both the higher echelons of the company, but also the community. Matt provides an excellent bird's eye view of what is going on in the world of open source. His experience highlights many of the challenges that the open source model is currently facing, and can expect to face in the near future.


Highlights:

  • Introduction to Percona and the work Matt does there (00:00)
  • Open source strategy and Matt’s take on its role in an organization (04:20)
  • Choosing where to place priorities and where open source is going (08:00)
  • The ins and outs of pricing models/Percona’s contributions (12:00)
  • Who doesn’t fit the Percona mold? (17:09)
  • Maintaining integrity and staying malleable (21:30)
  • “Shooting [the] sacred cows” of growth (30:45)
