How to use open-source to respond to a crisis, with Tariq Meyers

The open-source movement has given us an insight into the decisions that organizations around the world have been making to help their employees work through it during a crisis. But we don’t always get to learn about how or why they make the decisions that end up in the open-source policy or document. 



To learn more about prioritizing open and transparent communication during this crisis, Damon Klotz sat down with Tariq Meyers, Global Head of Belong, Inclusion, and Diversity at Coinbase.

Damon and Tariq discuss what was happening in the room when Coinbase created the now-public documents to help leaders with their response to the constant changes. You’ll also hear Damon and Tariq discuss the Black Lives Matter movement and explore ways to make space for conversations about race at work.
