Thank you to the folks at Sustain (https://sustainoss.org/) for providing the hosting account for CHAOSSCast! CHAOSScast – Episode 114 In this episode of CHAOSScast, hosts Georg Link and Nicole Huesman engage in a deep discussion with Christian Taylor, Terence (Tex) McCutcheon, and Johnny Kelly about measuring and enhancing open source community health through innovative methods. Christian and his team share their experiences in implementing the 'paid open source model' within the Cardano blockchain community, designed to retain and motivate contributors. The panel discusses a variety of topics, including governance models, the integration of AI for report generation, and the challenges of balancing open source principles with corporate interests. They also explore specific tools and metrics used to evaluate project health and community engagement, providing an illuminating look into the future of open source development. Hit the download button now! [00:01:40] Our guests give a brief introduction. [00:04:37] Christian provides a non-technical intro to Cardano, a top blockchain focused on peer reviewed, academic rigor. [00:06:07] Johnny explains Cardano's high decentralization via SPOs, DReps, and community tools like GovTool, and Christian outlines how open source ties in. [00:09:39] Christian talks about open source governance and Intersect and explains Intersect serves like the Linux Foundation for Cardano, holding code, facilitating contribution ladders, and launching an incubation program. [00:13:06] Georg gives a summary for those who are new: Cardano's treasury is funded via blockchain transaction fees. This funding supports open source development, tools, documentation, and maintainers, and Christian elaborates more about this. [00:15:39] Johnny details governance and funding decisions and Christian emphasizes the transparency and checks and balance system. [00:17:08] Nicole raises concerns about aligning paid models with open source ethos and Christian discusses Intersect's neutral, community-owned governance structure and internal checks and Johnny shares a link about the current members and the elective process within Intersect. [00:20:37] Christian shares using Bitergia and CHAOSS metrics to build out Cardano's open source health dashboard. Focus areas were response times, geographic contributions, contribution ladders, and project maturity. [00:26:03] Tex shares their dashboard is public and useful for spotting high-impact projects. He aims to improve documentation standards and repo governance practices. [00:31:05] Georg gives a brief description of the “jellyfish diagrams” that show how developers connect across projects. [00:33:26] Christian shares their approach to using AI in metrics reporting and Tex emphasizes AI assists analysis but doesn't replace human validation. [00:37:10] Nicole asks if the paid open source model is being shared externally. Christian confirms they presented the model at open source summits, validated it with leading experts, stress-tested with community input, and outlines a six month pilot of the model. Value Adds (Picks) of the week: [00:44:06] Georg's pick is going on his first cruise. [00:45:07] Christian's pick is family. [00:45:54] Tex's pick is simplicity. [00:46:38] Johnny's pick is the Calidus Pool-Key. [00:47:54] Nicole's pick is meeting and interviewing Dr. Laura Kelly. *Panelists: * Georg Link Nicole Huesman Guests: Christian Taylor Terence (Tex) McCutcheon Johnny Kelly Links: CHAOSS (https://chaoss.community/) CHAOSS Project X (https://twitter.com/chaossproj?lang=en) CHAOSScast Podcast (https://podcast.chaoss.community/) CHAOSS YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@CHAOSStube/videos) podcast@chaoss.community (mailto:podcast@chaoss.community) Georg Link Website (https://georg.link/) Nicole Huesman X (https://twitter.com/uoduckswtd) Christian Taylor X (https://x.com/DeOpenSourceGuy) Christian Taylor LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-taylor-766b01b1/) Terence McCutcheon X (https://x.com/Tmacqt87) Terence McCutcheon LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tex-oso/) Johnny Kelly X (https://x.com/intertreeJK) Johnny Kelly LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/intertreejk/) Open Source Office at Intersect MBO (YouTube) (https://www.youtube.com/@osointersectmbo) Cardano (https://cardano.org/) Cardano GovTool (https://gov.tools/) Intersect (https://www.intersectmbo.org/) Intersect Committees (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/about/readme/committee-members) Open Source Office (OSO) (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/about/open-source-office-oso) Bitergia Repo Maturity Reports (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/all-monthly-reports/bitergia-repo-maturity-reports) Edinburgh Decentralization Index Dashboard (https://informatics.ed.ac.uk/blockchain/edi/dashboard) Contribution Ladder Framework (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/policies/contribution-ladder-framework) Current Open Source Committee Members list and Term Rotation Schedules (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/about/readme/committee-members) Bitergia Monthly Maturity Reports for 2025 (https://committees.docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-open-source-committee/all-monthly-reports/bitergia-repo-maturity-reports/monthly-maturity-reports-2025) Introductory Article on POSM (Intersect) (https://www.intersectmbo.org/news/the-paid-open-source-model) Intersecting Open Source and Sustainability: A Paid Open Source Model for Ecosystems Full PDF (https://493748844-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLBdnzp0eZpGri9sVpseI%2Fuploads%2FvuisqFT8uCyKSDgpNmyW%2FPaid%20Open%20Source%20Model-%20LIVE.pdf?alt=media&token=577c8bd1-c9df-43a0-8b57-e883ddb1254a) Bitergia Dashboard (https://intersectmbo.biterg.io/app/dashboards#/view/Overview) The Paid Open Source Model Concept (YouTube) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4PgqaPWNT4) New Calidus Pool-Key for SPOs and Services Interacting with Pools (https://forum.cardano.org/t/new-calidus-pool-key-for-spos-and-services-interacting-with-pools/143812) She Lights the Way (https://shelightstheway.com/) Dr. Laura Kelly (https://drlaurakelly.com/) Special Guests: Johnny Kelly, Christian Taylor, and Terence (Tex) McCutheon.
While we're on the last week of our summer break, we're bringing you one of our most popular episodes from the back catalogue.For over four decades, contraception was not just taboo in Ireland—it was illegal. From 1935 to 1979, selling contraceptives and even accessing information about family planning was strictly banned by the Irish government. These laws reshaped daily life, leaving couples unable to plan their families and forcing many to navigate relationships under the shadow of fear and uncertainty.In this episode, I talk to Dr. Laura Kelly from the University of Strathclyde, a leading authority on the history of contraception in Ireland. Laura reveals the origins of these bans, the motivations behind them, and the lasting consequences for Irish society.Next week, I return with the fascinating history exploring why Ireland institutionalised over 1% of its population in psychiatric hospitals and mental asylums.Find out more about Laura's research and publications here.

The fear of spiking is something that crosses every woman's mind. Whether it's clutching onto their drinks tightly or even taking their drink with them to the bathroom on a night out. As the number of spiking incidents continues to rise, fresh calls are being made to put pressure on the government to make spiking a specific criminal offence in Ireland, as it currently falls under poisoning laws. Laura Kelly reports for us.

Watching KU get worked over by BYU was completely shocking to the system as it appeared the players just didn't care. It was awful. "Embarrassed" is the word Bill Self used and said of his traveling party, "we all need to get away from each other." This may not be the Titanic but KU's ship sure has crashed into an iceberg in the NIL era of college hoops. President Trump and Elon Musk sit down for a joint interview that was just incredible to watch. We'll tell you what they said and why it matters. Who are the pilots of the Delta flight that crashed? Here's a prediction, Canadian officials will now start pushing the weather as a problem before they tell us who the pilots are. Don't believe it. Kansas Governor Laura Kelly gets embarrassed with a veto override as Kansas kids will now be safe from unnecessary genital mutilation and puberty blockers. Mizzou has a huge test against Bama Wednesday night. MJ Melendez has a new swing at spring training. A high school in Maine defies Trump's transgender sports executive order and finger lickin' good is now a Texas thing.

Slowly, quietly, surely, God will meet us right where we are, all over again."Leave a comment for Laura: https://incourage.me/?p=250004--Whether you're looking for the perfect gift to place under the tree or a little something special for yourself, DaySpring's Cyber Week Sales will not disappoint.

Democratic Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly shares what she'll focus on accomplishing over her last two years in office as she faces an even stronger GOP legislative supermajority. Plus political headlines from across the metro.
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat, still has two years left in her term. She'll be heading to Topeka with another Republican legislative supermajority to work with. Despite calls from some, Kelly says she's not considering a U.S. Senate run in 2026.
"While we long to leap into action when our loved one is hurting, what people need most often is our presence. We want to bring casseroles and cards. We want to cook for them, clean their house, and care for their kids. We want to buy them funny socks, thoughtful books, comfy blankets, or beautiful flowers.But the truth is that when your life is falling apart, what matters most is to know that you aren't alone. To have friends who will stay with you even when they don't know what to say."Leave a comment for Laura: https://incourage.me/?p=249270--In just 21 days, you can begin living a life of passion, purpose, and fulfillment with the 21-Day Unlock: Discovering Your God-Given Purposes digital course by accomplished writer and entrepreneur Melissa Horvath.

Allegedly some plot details of The Mandalorian and Grogu have leaked and all of them SUCK.

Democrats in Kansas hope that 2024 is the year they finally break the Republican supermajority in the Kansas Legislature, which has been able to override Gov. Laura Kelly's veto on several key issues.
There is a critical need to reform the international financial architecture (IFA) – the framework of institutions, policies, rules and practices that govern the global financial system. In the episode, IIED's Laura Kelly and Mohsen Gul set the scene by explaining why the IFA needs to be fit for purpose and work for everyone, including the least developed countries (LDCs), and why discussions around IFA reforms must include the voices of lower-income countries, LDCs and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). IIED's chief economist Paul Steele then outlines three priorities for reform of the IFA. We also hear from IIED's Ritu Bharadwaj who discusses the Global SIDS Debt Sustainability Support Service, co-designed by IIED to alleviate crippling levels of debt and build economic resilience, and IIED partner Isatou Camara, who calls for faster and more accessible funding to reach the most vulnerable countries.

Laura and I explore the importance of self-awareness and how it leads to effective treatment and a more fulfilling life. You'll learn valuable strategies for improving your "say-do" ratio and prioritizing self-care, setting the stage for overcoming hardships. Hear firsthand about the excitement and trepidation of attending life-changing self-improvement events and the transformative power they hold.From navigating the fine line between not drinking and true sobriety to embracing spirituality and prayer for inner wisdom, this episode covers it all.

"We need to love our neighbor and our enemy everywhere. When I get lost online and have to find my bearings again, I try to remember what has helped me in the past. 1. Pray before you post. 2. Take a deep breath to ground yourself in the Holy Spirit. 3. Forgive others and ask for forgiveness. 4. Look to wise leaders. 5. Keep Jesus's welcome and wisdom before your eyes. We can never know what is going on behind someone's screen. Behind Internet bravado or cyberbullying stands a broken, hurting human — every single time. And while we never have to accept abuse or injustice, we can learn to become wiser in the ways we live and move and have our being online. We can follow Paul's instructions and encouragement, to live a Christian life no matter where we are."Leave a comment for Laura: https://incourage.me/?p=248587--It's always a great day when a little Hope & Encouragement comes your way. . . especially during National Day of Encouragement, coming up next week!

"Chaos is only — and always — the start of the story. Morning sickness, messy first drafts, and even the Monday school rush have taught me that beginnings can be difficult. But we can't lose heart when we encounter chaos. God might be drawing near in ways we can't see, hovering close to our murky waters. Every masterpiece starts with a sketch, and even chaos can be the first step to something beautiful coming next."Leave a comment for Laura: https://incourage.me/?p=240323--It may be July, but we're dreaming of Christmas.
