[$] Defining "sustainable" for an open-source project
Bradley Kuhn of the Software Freedom
Conservancy (SFC) first heard the term "sustainability" being applied
to free and
open-source software (FOSS) four or five years ago in the wake of Heartbleed. He wondered what the term meant
in that context, so he looked into it some. He came to SCALE 17x in
Pasadena, CA to give his thoughts on the topic in a talk entitled "If Open
Source Isn't Sustainable, Maybe Software Freedom Is?". |
