  • Open Source Sustainability (with Daniel Roe, Chad Whitacre & Rijk van Zanten)
    Join hosts Michael Thiessen and Alexander Lichter for a special episode of DejaVue - a fascinating panel discussion on open source sustainability with three open source enthusiasts: Daniel Roe (Nuxt Team Lead),Chad Whitacre (Head of Open Source at Sentry), and Rijk van Zanten (CTO and co-founder of Directus).The panelists dive deep into what sustainability truly means in open source and get deep into the weeds of different licensing models, debating whether open source functions as a gift economy, and discuss the challenges of project governance.The panel also discusses important questions about leadership structures in open source projects, the role of companies in funding development, and practical ways everyone can contribute to making the ecosystem more sustainable - whether financially or through other meaningful contributions.Enjoy the episode!Our GuestsDaniel Roe - Nuxt Team Lead  BlueskyWeb Chad Whitacre - Head of Open Source at Sentry  BlueskyTwitterWebRijk van Zanten - CTO and co-founder of Directus  BlueskyTwitterWebChapters(00:00) - Welcome to DejaVue (04:06) - What is Open Source Sustainability (12:51) - Open Source as a gift economy (19:20) - The Projects and their Licenses (29:50) - Sentry is not Open Source (34:53) - Open Source Definition and OSI (37:09) - Why people adopt open source software?
