The Changelog: Software Development, Open Source

CHAPTER

Introduction

This week on the Change Law, we're continuing our maintainer month series by taking you back to the hallway track of the Linux Foundation's open source summit North America. Today's anthology episode features Stony Peters, VP of Communities at GitHub, Dr. Don Foster, Director of Open Source Community Strategy at VMware and Angie Byron Drupal Core Product Manager and Community Director at AVEN. We talk about the core issues of open source software maintainers: finding balance, understanding project health, identifying new contributors, getting funding and support,. Knowing when to step back, health and succession plans for leaders, and even a dash of choosing the right license.
