One example is the Corona Warn App. In this example, open source development introduced new features and important design decisions based on feedback from the open source community, improving security and trust.&nbsp;J\u00fcrgen Bode also introduced ideas about how to protect your open source projects from being misused, i.e.&nbsp;offensive. He also covered ideas about open data, financial returns for open source contributions, and others.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Regarding the management talk from Dr. Stefan Barth about the long home office period in his and other companies, we found a lot of similarities to the way that we\u2019ve been experiencing it. The lecture supports our beliefs in work values that apply both remotely and on-site: trust and transparency &#8211; with customers and employees.&nbsp;Stefan Barth presented numbers that show increasing satisfaction of employees with the remote work, also in surprising areas, such as the communication of the overall company goals.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-color uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign- uagb-columns__gap-10 align uagb-block-102c7886 uagb-columns__columns-2 uagb-columns__max_width-theme\"><div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-9bf62bc5\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized is-style-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viaboxx.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/melissa-boiko.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7448\" width=\"195\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viaboxx.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/melissa-boiko.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/www.viaboxx.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/melissa-boiko-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.viaboxx.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/melissa-boiko-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-7b561a8e\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<p><strong><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><strong>Melissa Boiko  | System Administrator<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attended workshop and lectures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/programm.froscon.de\/2021\/events\/2689.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Irgendwas mit &#8211;Holz&#8211;Comics | Comic-Zeichnen 101<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/programm.froscon.de\/2021\/events\/2641.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WLAN.
