Guest Kailash Nadh Panelists Richard Littauer | Justin Dorfman Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source for the long haul. We're super excited to have as our guest today, Kailash Nadh. In 2020, he co-founded the FOSS United Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the FOSS ecosystem in India, where he serves as director. He also has been the CTO of Zerodha, India's largest stock broking firm for the last decade. Today, our conversations with Kailash will take through the FOSS program at Zerodha, and he'll explain how they've grown to be one of the largest financial tech companies in India. He'll take us through the journey of starting the FOSS Foundation, Zerodha's funding for FOSS, and Kailash explains why people getting interested in open source is such a huge valuable concept and philosophy. Download this episode now to learn more! [00:02:20] Kailash tells us about the FOSS program at Zerodha and being a CTO. [00:06:46] There's a FOSS Pledge on the FOSS United website and Kailash explains who it's for and if anyone can sign it. [00:08:04] We learn about Zerodha's yearly budget to the FOSS Foundation. [00:10:36] A question comes up if there are any documents or resources Kailash has in place to help ensure that their interests at Zerodha don't erode away the native interests of any open source project. [00:13:04] Kailash tells us about paperd.ink. [00:15:04] Justin is curious to know if every part of the product is open source or if there's some type of proprietary in there and what their focus is for the funds. [00:16:01] Dwayne O'Brien's name comes up with the FOSS Contributor Fund, and if Kailash has ever talked to him. [00:17:32] Since it's hard to find people to fund right now, Richard wonders what the intake process is for Kailash to get new contributors and maintainers. [00:18:26] Does Zerodha have Community Managers or social media people to help out the foundation? [00:20:27] We hear about the different conferences in India. [00:23:58] Kailash explains what the people were interested in hearing about at the FOSS focused events and how enticing it is for people to go to them. [00:28:41] We hear Kailash's views on what he thinks about people getting interested in open source, and he tells us about the social development sector. [00:34:23] A questions comes up if there are any resources people could reach out to if they are in the NGO sector, or social sector. where they can learn what FOSS tools are best for them. [00:36:15] Find out where you can follow Kailash and his work online. Quotes [00:04:00] “We have close to zero SaaS subscriptions even as a really large enterprise.” [00:04:20] “FOSS really is why Zerodha exists today in the form it does.” [00:04:31] “We've grown to be one of the largest financial tech companies in India all on the back of FOSS.” [00:06:32] “Building everything community first, first principles, is really key.” [00:08:50] “At Zerodha, we've set aside one million dollars a year minimum to fund FOSS.” [00:20:29] “The conference a few months ago was IndiaFOSS, then a conference that happened in Kochi they named KochiFOSS, then DelhiFOSS, and there's an upcoming one MumbaiFOSS, which has a nice ring to it. This evolved organically with people in Kochi because they really wanted to call it KochiFOSS to identify with the city.” [00:32:50] “FOSS is the answer to the massive systematic risk that is the lack of technical capacity in the most dire of needs.” Spotlight [00:37:13] Justin's spotlight is a project he's been working on with his co-worker Camden called, conc: better structured concurrency for go.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Quarters Of Change over Zoom video.Buzzy rock quartet Quarters Of Change release their new single + video “Chloe”. The catchy track features crooning vocals and an infectious guitar riff, complete with a tangible energy that demands listeners undivided attention. The cinematic visual showcases the group's undeniable stage presence. Previous single ”T Love” further showcased the group's relatability, capturing the feeling of falling in love with a person who is just out of reach. With the streets of New York City as the backdrop, Quarters of Change took fans on a journey through their hometown. “T Love” came off the back of “Jaded”, the band's first release off of their forthcoming album, out this Spring. The track quickly went viral on TikTok, leading to a 200% increase in daily streams. As another exciting piece of the Quarters Of Change story, the band's original song “Mr. Wallace”, was recently used as the end title to all 6 episodes of Race: Bubba Wallace, out now on Netflix.About Quarters of Change:Quarters of Change is the Lower-East-Side quartet leading the charge on New York City's rock resurgence, and redefining what it means to be a rock star.Composed of Ben Acker, Attila Anrather, Jasper Harris, and Ben Roter, Quarters of Change started in 2017 as a high school cover band, performing iconic rock songs of the 90s and 00s. It wasn't until their junior year that they began writing original material, pulling influence from groups like The Strokes and Rage Against The Machine, and creating their own original sound. Within a year, the band had signed a deal with Elektra Music Group/300 Entertainment, released streaming favorites like “Kiwi," and played sold out shows at renown venues like Bowery Ballroom and Webster Hall.Now, armed with a record deal and an undeniable slew of songs, Quarters of Change is poised to be alternative rock's next big thing. Keep an eye out for their self-written debut LP, Into The Rift, with contributions from legendary producer Tom Lord-Alge, coming Spring 2022.We want to hear from you!
