Pal, the mascot of #Palark, loves to travel. He is lucky to have teammates who are happy to bring him along on their vacations. His latest trips include Thailand and Japan. What did he see there? From a tropical island’s beach to the Hachiko statue… the photos say it all much better, don't they? ✨

Some other report takeaways:
- Benefit-to-cost ratios from Open Source contributions are 2-5x on average
- OSS contributions increase product development speed by 10%
- 68% org say OSS contributions make hiring and retaining talent easier
