## Description

Bradley Kunda, the Product Owner of MuseScore Studio at Muse discusses the unique challenges involved in re-imagining two popular open source music applications: MuseScore and Audacity. 

How do you work with volunteer contributors to align to a common vision?
How do you solve major design and architectural issues without potentially alienating users who do not like things to change too dramatically? 
How can a professional workforce co-exist with a volunteer community? 
What advantages are there in 'working out in the open' compared to development of closed software?
