Open source is broken and we’re all partly responsible, even if we don’t realise it. Many of today’s profitable products depend on the unpaid work of a small group of maintainers. Open-source licenses may let us take freely, but that doesn’t mean we should. The result: burnout, abandoned projects, and vulnerabilities that put everyone at risk.
The good news? We don’t need to wait for systemic change. There are practical things you can do right now to support the open-source ecosystem you depend on, from lightweight regular habits to team practices that make life better for maintainers and contributors alike. You’ll leave this session with concrete ideas that strengthen your dependencies while making your own work more resilient.
Don’t wait for your favourite open-source project to hit crisis mode before you think about how to help. Let’s start making open source sustainable - together.
