In this show, Dirk Hohndel, Head of Verizon’s Open Source Program Office (OSPO), explores the role of open source in driving innovation and collaboration amid the growing geopolitical rifts. He talks about the growing relevance of open source software in such conflicts, suggesting that it could serve as a global language for software development that transcends political divides. However, Hohndel underscores the need to separate technology from politics and also stresses that discussing open source software in the context of human suffering is inappropriate.
