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. -
“I really like the Small Web. Thanks for NOT supporting it.”
https://ar.al/2022/10/20/nlnet-grant-application-for-domain-rejected/
(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 https://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.)

RE: https://social.opensource.org/@policy/115940134797418877
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!

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 ❤️.

What do you think about the value of soil/earth/dirt? Here's an open source soil amendment strategy "for improving 3 acres of low-quality soil, enough space to grow sufficient food to feed 100 people within 1 year."

Together with PyPI, Maven Central, crates.io and other major package registries we signed a statement on sustainable open source infrastructure.
3B+ installs/month and evolving #composerphp and packagist.org requires sharing the costs.

I've been thinking a lot about #OpenSourceSustainability lately.
The topic is coming up across the full spectrum of projects, friends, colleagues, and clients (in 2nd place behind #DigitalSovereignty stuff).

Open Source Pledge was officially launched today! This is a new initiative by Sentry addressing Open Source Software sustainability problem.

I've been evaluating Pulumi as a provisioning tool and I find the choice around monetization interesting.
By default if you use Pulumi, you need an account on their server, and they charge for organizations to use it.
This would be a bit like if git defaulted to a Github repository by default.
You can override this, but you have to do so deliberately.
I'm conflicted by this choice. On one hand, I find this to be a problematic default behavior since it pushes users towards a proprietary commercial service.
On the other hand, it's a default that can be overridden and may mean that the software and company have found a way to be profitable in the long term.
I'd love to know what others think about this.

Episode 2 of my new #podcast series is out, featuring William Morgan of #Buoyant, the vendor behind the #Linkerd #servicemesh. In February, Buoyant announced it would no longer be making a certain class of the project's code, called stable release artifacts, available for free to production users with more than 50 employees. In this interview, William discusses community reaction to that change and his view on #opensourcesustainability. #opensource. #OSS #CNCF

"My fundamental position is that paying people to work on open source is good, full stop, no exceptions"
That's a good write-up. I wholeheartedly agree. These days I simply do not work on OSS unless it's something that I benefit from somehow. ie I wouldn't spend time fixing bugs that don't affect me directly. It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I don't have time. It's as simple as that.

So it seems I lost 3 of my 5 #Github sponsors last month due to them ending the #PayPal payment possibility 😔
I really can't complain too much about getting feature/bugfix sponsorship for specific plugins and the #NeosCMS core in the last few years, but getting financial support for general maintenance and just investing time in the community is really really hard. #OpenSourceSustainability

The growth of fediverse (in particular mastodon) has also exposed the necessary discussion about the economical sustainability of instances.
The ethical principles of fediverse should promote innovative business strategies, that will support mainly small and more vulnerable communities. #opensourcesustainability #fediverse #mastodon #instanceadmin
