An anti-pattern is a process which seems appropriate, but has more bad consequences than good ones. Many companies who are trying to run their open source efforts in the same way that they would manage projects internally are suffering from having their internal best-practices become open source anti-patterns. While the code quality of the technical work is generally unaffected by these, they can have a chilling effect on community growth, health, diversity, and sustainability. In this talk, I'll discuss some of the common mistakes that "corporate" open source efforts make in their own open source projects and in their attempts to contribute to the upstreams they depend on. This session might give you some tips as to why your Pull Requests are not getting answered and why your open source projects are still entirely built by your internal development team.
