About this session

The discussion will explore whether organisations should continue building internal systems in isolation, or whether a more community-based approach could create more sustainable outcomes.

With AI-assisted architecture, design, and development, the economics of building internal software are changing rapidly. At the same time, SaaS prices continue to increase, while some providers are introducing new charges for access to data that organisations already own. This raises the question of whether organisations should increasingly build, share, and own more of their own capabilities.

Discussion Points:
- Can community-based development create better alternatives to isolated internal projects?
- How does AI change the build vs. buy equation?
- Should organisations rethink SaaS dependency as prices and data-access costs increase?
- How can organisations share code and knowledge without compromising security, IP, or governance?
- Who owns, maintains, and secures community-developed systems?
- Examples of successful and unsuccessful approaches to community-driven development.

Be prepared to share your experiences in this exclusive small gathering.
