The Future of Open Source: Community, Diversity, and Corporate Responsibility - Isaac Levin and Richard Littauer

In this Mechanical Ink podcast episode, Schalk Neethling leads an in-depth conversation with Isaac Levin and Richard Littauer, exploring crucial aspects of open-source contribution, the impact of diversity in tech, and strategies for sustainable open-source projects.

Isaac shares insights from his involvement in the .NET community, highlighting the importance of acknowledging open-source efforts in professional settings.

Richard discusses the roles of Sustain and Open Collective in supporting open source projects financially and through community engagement, stressing the necessity for a sustainable model.

The dialogue emphasizes the collective responsibility of both individuals and corporations to foster an inclusive, supportive open source environment.

Note: We had some challenges with Issac’s audio, but the conversation is so insightful I would encourage everyone to listen past that.
