Making open source best practices visible for quality-driven regulated industries

This talk, presented by Philipp Ahmann from ETAS GmbH at Open Community Experience 2026, focuses on the visibility of open source best practices in quality-driven regulated industries. It examines how established open source development practices can be systematically identified, assessed, and aligned with quality and compliance requirements. The speaker discusses the development of a two-dimensional assessment model that evaluates process definitions and execution evidence, leveraging quality management frameworks like ISO 9001. Additionally, the session outlines a methodology for analyzing existing standards and open source governance models, aiming to facilitate the adoption of quality practices in compliance-driven environments and support the creation of community-driven standards that meet regulatory expectations.
