On today’s episode we speak with Kohsuke Kawaguchi, who won the Google-O’Reilly Open Source award for his work on the Hudson/Jenkins project. Kohsuke began his career at Sun Microsystems. He shares insights on the balance between community-driven open source and the need to monetize through enterprise services.

In 2010 Kohsuke founded InfraDNA, which merged with Cloudbees shortly after. In 2014 he become the CTO of Cloudbees.
