How can we sustain open source software?
As multiple companies re-license their projects to move away from open source, and maintainers everywhere are getting burnt out, it’s time to rethink how to make open source sustainable.
We present a checklist for assessing the health of an open source project to see if it might be at risk, and what to do about it.
You’ll learn some approaches for setting up an open source project for long-term success, and some other ideas about how we might keep this thing we all love alive.
