Making Open Source Work for Everyone with David Whitney

Making Open Source Work for Everyone with David Whitney

Author: Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell November 3, 2022 Duration: 50:42
How do we make open source work for everyone? While at NDC in Oslo, Carl and Richard talked to David Whitney about his experiences working on open-source projects, and the challenges of making them sustainable. David talks about how many projects start with an individual making something for themselves, which then evolves into many people utilizing the project, but not contributing to it. And when companies depend on that software, the pressure on the creators gets serious - but without compensation. How do we make open source better? And how do the tech giants make the situation better or worse?
