The Role of VCs and Entrepreneurs in the Open Source Community

Ashley Williams and Adam Jacob joined Adam and Bryan to continue their panel discussion with Bryan following up his p99conf talk revisiting open source anti-patterns. Notably, open source has accelerated the distribution of value… without clarity on how contributors can capture that value. Has open source accelerated unequal distribution?

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by friends of the show Ashley Williams and Adam Jacob.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

• Bryan's Talk, Corporate Open Source Anti-Patterns: A Decade Later by Bryan Cantrill, Oxide
• Subsequent panel with Adam J. and Ashley
• Oxide and Friends: Open Source Anti-Patterns with Kelsey Hightower from August 28th, 2023
• Oxide and Friends: Docker, Inc., an Early Epitaph from September 13th, 2021

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
