  6. AI is Changing the Relationship Between Developers and Open Source

    AI is making open source more valuable than ever, but it’s also changing how developers interact with the communities that maintain it. Two recent LeadDev articles prompted me to think about a growing tension: AI is increasing demand for open source while also increasing the burden on the maintainers who sustain it.

  7. Talking Open Source, WordPress, and Contribution Beyond Code on the Crossword Podcast

    I recently joined the Crossword podcast for a conversation about open source, WordPress, and what meaningful contribution looks like beyond writing code. We talked about non-technical roles, sponsored contribution, and how large community-driven projects actually function, along with a few additional thoughts I didn’t get a chance to fully unpack during the episode.

  11. Agree and Amplify: Funding Open Source as Digital Infrastructure

    Open source software powers critical digital infrastructure, but funding rarely reaches the people who maintain it. In response to Dries Buytaert’s recent post on funding open source for digital sovereignty, I argue that this is not just a government procurement issue. It is a systemic one. From WordPress to Tailwind, widespread adoption is too often mistaken for sustainability. If organizations depend on open source to operate and scale, contributing back (including funding) needs to be treated as a baseline responsibility, not optional goodwill.

  12. “I really like the Small Web. Thanks for NOT supporting it.”

    ar.al/2022/10/20/nlnet-grant-a

    (We tried one more time after that, got rejected again, and then stopped wasting time with @nlnet and @NGIZero. The Small Web will launch this year with ZERO EU funding in its six years of development from NGI/NLNet. If you want to support us before it does, please see small-tech.org/fund-us. After we launch, we aim for it to be self sustaining. So NGI/NLNet have been and are irrelevant as far as the Small Web is concerned.)

  17. RE: social.opensource.org/@policy/

    Even if you just send feedback saying "I really like (funded project) thanks for supporting it", that is the kind of thing that really makes a difference!

    The commission struggles to measure the value of Open Source funding, so we have to speak up so they know it makes sense!

  22. The European Commission's proposal to provide funding for the Commercialisation of Open Source in Europe is a great thing both for Europe's digital autonomy and for Open Source sustainability.

    It is the result of a multi-year educational and advocacy effort by Open Source organisations in Brussels that I am very glad to have been part of ❤️.
