The Open Source Way

SAP collaborated very closely with the German Government, Robert Koch Institute, Deutsche Telekom, and other partners to develop the Corona-Warn-App in an open source approach. The app warns the users if they have been in close proximity to someone diagnosed with COVID-19. This helps to trace chains of infection and provides guidance to people who have tested positive. The decentralized approach and pseudonymization ensure the highest level of security and data privacy. In this episode, our host Karsten Hohage talks to one of the community managers of the open source project, that was established to develop the Corona-Warn-App. If you want to learn more about The Corona-Warn-App go to: https://www.coronawarn.app/en/  or GitHub: https://github.com/corona-warn-app and share your ideas with us: ospo@sap.com Guest: Sebastian Wolf Sebastian is a development architect and works for the SAP OSPO since the beginning of 2020.

Listen to our host Karsten Hohage and our guest Peter Giese why Open Source is important in a global enterprise, why it is a triple win for customers, developers and SAP, and why you need an Open Source Program Office.
