Building Sustainable Open Source Projects Workshop

Maintaining open source software is hard! Sustain is a community which holds conversations around meaningful open source resilience, equity, growth and scale, from the perspective of both FOSS projects and the individuals who participate and contribute. We largely use working groups as a means of helping share ideas around how to build healthier communities, to foster a culture of reciprocity from corporations and institutions using open source, and to involve more diverse voices. In this workshop, we will introduce some of the working groups and hold conversations around UX and Design, governance, and metrics. We invite all kinds of MozFests participants to come learn more about open source and sustainability, discover ways to participate in Sustain projects, and even workshop some of your own open source sustainability challenges with a group of passionate practitioners.
