Open Source community means sharing of both code and learnings

Open Source projects build from the ground up and absorb code and best practices from the industry at large, so CSPs don’t need to rely on a single (or a limited number of) vendors’ implementations. Joining communities that may not be directly focused on your organisation’s current main concerns can have real pay off later. They’re likely to present opportunities that you aren’t even looking for today. But once you are scaling out for 5G and are triple the size. there will be moments when you realize you’re missing something you didn’t even know you were going to need and the community is there as a resource.
