Open Source Pledge with Vlad-Stefan Harbuz
Josh has a discussion with Vlad-Stefan Harbuz about the Open Source Pledge as well as his recent FOSDEM talk. The Open Source Pledge is all about trying to build a sustainable universe for open source maintainers. This ties into Vlad’s FOSDEM talk which was all about the challenge of just knowing what open source you are using. The importance of trying to make open source sustainable is a really important topic, but it’s also a really hard topic. Vlad helps explain all of this as well as some ideas for the solving this in the future.
