WordCamp Europe 2024 Explores Open Source Sustainability Challenges
Mathias Bolt Lesniak, TYPO3 project ambassador, has provided an event report from WordCamp Europe 2024 in Turin, Italy, where key discussions focused on sustaining open-source software. In his report, Lesniak highlights a keynote by WordPress contributors Joost de Valk and Juliette Reinders Folmer, who emphasize that open-source developers cannot rely on their projects for profit and suggest corporate responsibility and government funding as potential solutions.
The event, attended by roughly 3,000 participants, also addresses WordPress's market dominance and its impact on open source contributions, reflecting on governance and user experience across WordPress, Drupal, and TYPO3.
