In 2023 we’ve seen some big open source projects almost die or be abandoned. So we think it is time to have an honest talk about open source and more specifically, about how to make open source software projects sustainable in the long run.
Now what does that mean? And how do we do that? Is contributing code enough?
What about funding? And how do we “sell” open source funding to the finance departments in our companies?
And what is it that we fund? What are we “buying”?
In this talk we’ll have a look at how to make open source sustainable and how you can help with this!
