Guest Martin Woodward Panelists Richard Littauer | Ben Nickolls Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source for the long haul. This is a special podcast and one of several in this series for GitHub's Maintainer Month. We're interviewing maintainers to ask them about their experience of open source and their experience of living as maintainers. We are super excited to talk to our guest, Martin Woodward, who's the VP of Developer Relations at GitHub. Today, Martin explains the origins of Maintainer Month and discusses his role in supporting open source maintainers and helping them succeed with GitHub. The conversation also covers topics such as the distinction between open source authors and maintainers, the GitHub Accelerator program and the M12 fund, the future of maintainership and funding challenges, and strategies for setting expectations for senior management and funders. There's much more, so hit download now! [00:01:30] Martin explains that his role involves supporting open source maintainers and helping them succeed with GitHub. [00:02:46] How does Martin distinguish between DevRel and GitHub and make sure the work he does helps people who are maintainers. [00:04:54] Martin discusses the origins of Maintainer Month, starting with a virtual maintainer summit during the pandemic, which later expanded to involve the entire community. [00:07:38] Ben brings up how Maintainer's month seems to be evolving, and Martin tells us the event aims to provide a safe space for maintainers to connect, share best practices, and raise awareness among developers about the challenges and importance of maintaining open source projects. [00:10:17] Martin explains the different segments within the maintainer community, ranging from contributors to maintainers who set the direction and run the projects, and emphasizes the need for respect and understanding of the diverse governance structures. [00:12:32] Ben discusses the distinction between open source authors and maintainers, highlighting the challenge of maintaining projects and the need for support and resources in that role, and he brings up a resource library. [00:15:34] The conversation shifts to the future of maintainership, focusing on the funding challenges faced by maintainers and the various motivations and expectations within the open source community. [00:17:12] The discussion touches on the involvement of venture capital firms asking for open source strategies from start-ups. [00:18:54] We hear about the involvement in the GitHub Accelerator program and M12 fund, with members of their team driving the first cohort and providing funding and training to open source start-ups. [00:22:44] Martin acknowledges the importance of maintaining boundaries and saying no as a maintainer, and shares how GitHub is incorporating feedback from maintainers into product features, such as interaction limits and status settings. He also mentions personal strategies for avoiding burnout as a maintainer. [00:27:26] Richard asks Martin for his thoughts on setting expectations for people above him such as senior management and funders, regarding keeping open source sustainable. [00:32:21] Why did Martin get into open source? [00:34:56] The conversation turns to the relationship between Microsoft and GitHub, with Martin stating that GitHub remains an independent entity while benefitting from the scale and resources of the parent company. [00:37:22] Find out where you follow Martin on the web. Quotes [00:08:37] “Other people start using it and all of a sudden you find you're the maintainer of an open source project.” [00:21:34] “Maintainers are the givers.” [00:21:55] “Maintainers build communities.” [00:25:26] “You don't have to take everybody's PR's.” [00:29:17] “Open source communities value co-contribution over everything else.” Spotlight [00:38:42] Ben's spotlight is the Merlin App. [00:39:32] Richard's *spotlight is getting your ears cleaned. [00:40:04] Martin's spotlight is the WLED Project.

Guest Ashley Williams 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 are super excited to have Ashley Williams joining us. Ashley is the Founder and CEO of Axo. She is also a former member of the Rust Core Team, founder of the Rust Foundation, and served as its first Executive Director. She was the leader of the Node.js Community Committee and founded the NodeTogether educational initiative. Today, Ashley shares her background with us from working at NPM, joining Mozilla, building the Rust Foundation, and she fills us in on Axo, which she explains is the tool company for tool companies. She also has some suggestions on how open source projects can get money to become successful in the long term. Go ahead and download this episode now to learn more! [00:01:41] Ashley explains what Axo does. [00:04:07] When Ashley moved from Node to Rust, she tells us what she took to the community there from the lessons she learned from Node, and how she wanted to build great communities in Rust. [00:09:35] We learn more about the process of building the Rust Foundation and why building it was necessary. [00:15:02] Justin wonders what it was that made the organizations calm again and why did they stick with Rust. [00:17:07] Ashley explains what the difference is for her and why one is better for open source software sustainability. [00:21:24] How do open source projects position themselves in the future to continue to have stake in their own governance and their own sustainability and where does Ashley think they should be investing their time? [00:23:28] We hear some tips from Ashley about the best way for a project to have a conversation with each other about setting goals and intentions for their project in a way that isn't alienating. [00:30:02] Ashley shares a little of her background with us after leaving NPM, joining Mozilla, and she tells us about a tool she built called, wasm-pack. [00:33:35] We find out where can you learn about Axo, get involved, and if it's open source. [00:35:15] Ashley shares some tips on what open source projects can do to get money to help themselves go forward and become financially viable in the long term. [00:40:11] Find out where you can follow Ashley on the web. Quotes [00:05:57] “I got super burned out of community work and Node and everyone kept throwing it in my face that I wasn't technical. If I wasn't so busy doing all this other stuff maybe I would commit some code.” [00:06:59] “When you build a community in reaction to something, when you stop reacting to that thing it's hard to figure out what you do next and how you grow it.” [00:10:18] “It's way worse to have a foundation too early than having a foundation too late.” [00:17:49] “I love to say ergonomics is eighty percent familiarity, and it appears to be true for organizations that are doing fundraising,” [00:18:31] “The goal of that Linux Foundation generation was to get corporations to use open source, which in a way is the opposite of making it sustainable because it adds an incredible burden.” [00:20:20] “I don't think charity is the same as sustainability.” [00:24:23] “Try and get people to itch the same way.” [00:24:42] “Having really strong communication brand and marketing helps drive that shared collective vision.” [00:24:50] “I think Rust had really fantastic marketing for a really long time and that helped drive the community to have as much of a shared vision as is possible in a group of software engineers.” [00:29:00] “I don't know if open source wants to be sustained.” [00:32:42] “Pay attention to the types of open source maintainers that are getting hired versus the ones that aren't, because there are some patterns that no one should be proud of.” [00:35:57] “Get a company that loves your project and then get them to hire you to work on it.” [00:39:49] “The era of open source we're in, there's need for more safeguards.” Spotlight [00:41:01] Justin's spotlight is axii.axo.dev.

Guest Nicholas Zakas 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. Our guest today is a returning guest that we've had on before. We are excited to have joining us, Nicholas Zakas, who's one of the maintainers on ESLint, which is a tool that helps you find and fix problems in your JavaScript code. Today, we'll learn all about ESLint, the maintainers, contributors, and how they get paid. Also, we'll find out the success behind ESLint, and a post about sponsoring dependencies that Nicholas wrote on his blog. Go ahead and download this episode now to learn more! [00:02:23] Nicholas tells us all about ESLint, their maintainers that work on the project, and how many people have contributed to the project on GitHub. [00:07:29] Nicholas tells us how maintainers get paid as part of his governance strategy. [00:10:04] Justin asked about the fact that ESLint not only pays contributors, but also pays downstream dependencies. [00:12:04] Richard wonders where all the money comes from that gave ESLint this huge surplus, and Nicholas explains how they raised so much and what it is about ESLint that makes that possible. [00:16:10] We hear some reflections from Richard as he congratulates Nicholas and makes some important points about the success of ESLint. [00:20:19] Nicholas fills us in on the OpenJS Foundation Project. [00:23:57] Richard talks about a blog post Nicholas wrote on his blog about sponsoring dependencies, and Nicholas explains the difference between large charismatic projects and smaller projects and how he sees the role of large projects in funding the smaller ones. [00:31:41] We hear what ESLint did with sponsoring dependencies, and Nicholas tells us about some projects that they wanted to support financially, but turned them down. [00:38:06] Find out where you can follow Nicholas and ESLint online. Quotes [00:07:43] “Everybody on the team, the committers, reviewers, technical steering committee, gets paid an hourly rate for their contributions.” [00:07:53] “Contributions can be anything that contributes to the project, reviewing issues and pull requests, attending meetings, helping people on discord, helping people on GitHub discussions, and if people ever go to conferences or meetings representing the team, they can also charge for that.” [00:10:15] “We made a decision the beginning of last year that it was time to start supporting our dependencies.” [00:12:28] “I do think we are lucky in a lot of ways that we've had champions inside of companies who were working within their company to get ESLint's support.” [00:13:13] “In the beginning, we were hesitant to start spending the money because we didn't know how reliable that source of income would be, and we were worried we wouldn't be able to pay a living wage.” [00:21:25] “Being in a foundation is one type of a reputational check mark that an open source project can get.” [00:26:15] “I think OpenSSL is a great example of [the funding problem]. It's a foundational piece of internet infrastructure.” [00:28:31] “We went on backyourstack.com and started looking for the projects that we were depending on that had Open Collective pages and said, as a project, what is good for open source in general, is also good for ESLint.” [00:29:20] “Open source, in general, is this collective of projects that are built on top of projects that are built on top of projects that are built on top of projects, and we have no problem giving that recognition when we're talking about what the project is built upon.” Spotlight [00:39:47] Justin's spotlight is the new book, What if? 2 by Randall Munroe.

On this episode, Richard is interviewing a few open source maintainers to talk about what it's like to be a maintainer, how awesome they are, and what issues they may have being a maintainer. My first guest is Mike McQuaid, who works for GitHub and is one of the maintainers of Homebrew. Mike tells us all about Homebrew, how you can contribute, and the most fun thing about being a maintainer there. Also joining me is Nina Breznik, another awesome maintainer, Founder of RefugeesWork, Partner and Open Source Developer at Playproject, Community Organizer at Wizard Amigos, and she works on a DatDot project with serapath. Nina shares how it is for her being a maintainer, how she helps other people see it as art, not just science and math, but a more creative thing, and she tells us the project she had the most fun working on. Go ahead and download this episode now to learn more! Mike: [00:00:48] Mike explains what Homebrew is, the size of the community, and the usage.

Quotes [00:01:59] “The best way to get involved with open source was solving a problem I had for myself.” [00:04:23] “Everything we do breaks down to human relationships and managing those and trying to have an environment where people are happy with each other.” [00:07:19] “What advice would you give to a first-time open source person? I think just strict boundaries.” [00:20:34] “I transitioned from social sciences and arts into coding because I wanted to get a skill. I wanted to be able to build something on my own and this was the first time I felt the power that I built something.” [00:21:45] “I would love to see more people learning to code, which is one of the reasons why I started Wizards Amigos Project because I feel that this really is literacy of the future.” [00:23:06] “They should have told me this is not all about math, but more like art.” Links SustainOSS (https://sustainoss.org/) SustainOSS Twitter (https://twitter.com/SustainOSS?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) SustainOSS Discourse (https://discourse.sustainoss.org/) podcast@sustainoss.org (mailto:podcast@sustainoss.org) Richard Littauer Twitter (https://twitter.com/richlitt?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) Mike McQuaid Twitter (https://twitter.com/mikemcquaid?lang=en) Mike McQuaid Website (https://mikemcquaid.com/) Homebrew (https://brew.sh/) Sustain Podcast-Episode 117: Mike McQuaid of Homebrew on Sustainability Working on OSS Projects (https://podcast.sustainoss.org/117) Nina Breznik Twitter (https://twitter.com/ninabreznik?lang=en) serapath Twitter (https://twitter.com/serapath) Google Summer of Code 2022 Program Announced (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) Rails Girls (http://railsgirls.com/) Wizard Amigos (https://wizardamigos.com/) DatDot (https://datdot.org/) Dat Ecosystem (https://dat-ecosystem.org/) Mathias Buus (https://github.com/mafintosh) Ok Distribute Blog (https://okdistribute.xyz/) Dat Foundation Governance (https://dat.foundation/about/people/) Credits Produced by Richard Littauer (https://www.burntfen.com/) Edited by Paul M.

Marko Klemetti, CTO of Eficode, is joined by Mike McQuaid, Staff engineer at GitHub, and the HomeBrew project leader. Marko and Mike discuss how Homebrew came to be, how Homebrew built an approach to contributions from the community, and what companies could learn from these experiences when they decide on their approach to open source contributions. How Homebrew came to be? How to combine employment and open source work? How can companies enable open source contributions at work? What is the right investment level for open source in a company? What is the role of DevOps in open source projects?

He has been involved in various sports-related capacities. Most recently is his foray into the sport of triathlon, which has seen him compete in over 20 long-course, Olympic, and Sprint triathlons, including reaching the podium six times in the past two seasons. On April 2nd he will compete in the Ironman Oceanside 70.3 in San Diego, and in preparation for that he will complete a training ride next week in which he will tackle the 10,068-foot, 35-mile climb to the summit of Maui's Haleakala Volcano dubbed as the “World's longest paved climb.” He had been an All-Pac 10 and national champion rower in his 20s. As a competitive sailor, he was a member of the winning crew at the 1998 Swiftsure International Yacht Race. Plus, he has held administrative roles in sports with the Seattle Goodwill Games, the Washington State Olympic Committee, the Seattle Sports Commission, USA Canoe/Kayak, and even US Lacrosse, among many others.
Today we have a great guest to talk about his transition to, and current role as, a staff engineer: Mike McQuaid from GitHub! Mike is also a project leader at Homebrew, and brings a wealth of expertise and experience to the table, as well as the obvious added perspective that any engineer from the GitHub team would have. In our conversation, we get into a bit of Mike's journey up until now, the period of stepping up into the position of staff engineer, and how his time spent with open-source projects has influenced his other work. Mike gives us a good rundown of the different levels of leadership that exist at GitHub as well as painting a picture of the way he prefers to oversee engineers and projects. We talk about the healthiest ways to prioritize and tackle work and get into the sometimes murky waters of impact and value measurement. We ask Mike about what it is like working at GitHub where the people building things are also the ones using them, before discussing some thoughts on mentoring and sponsoring, OKRs, and the resources that have been most useful to Mike along the way. Tune in with us today to hear it all! LinksMike McQuaidGitHubHomebrew

Today, we have special guest. Nadia Eghbal, a writer and researcher, works for Substack, and has a new book out which we will be talking about today! We discuss Nadia’s book, what it’s all about, why she wrote it, and why Eric refers to it as the “Open Source Bible.” She also talks about the report she did called, “Roads and Bridges,” published by the Ford Foundation. Find out why she has been called the “Open Source Archaeologist.” Download this episode now! [00:01:43] Nadia tells us all about her book, what it’s about, and why she wrote it. [00:02:56] Justin asks Nadia what her expectations were of writing her report, Roads and Bridges. [00:05:01] Eric mentions a talk Nadia gave a few years back, and she used a “lobster” reference throughout it, so he wonders what her motivation was behind going so deep into creating a legacy of documentation and knowledge that very few people in the world have. [00:09:16] Richard brings up Mike McQuaid’s sticker funds and Nadia brings up an example of this. [00:11:40] Eric talks about Nadia’s book which he refers to as the “Open Source Bible,” and Gunner adds his viewpoint as well. [00:13:24] Gunner asks Nadia if this book leads to actions and does she have any thoughts about what actions she would like it to lead to on the part of readers. [00:15:36] Gunner has an archaeology question for Nadia and is curious to know if she has reflected on the idea that when you’re not downloading, when you’re not installing the idea of a license or the idea of a piece of technology, being more community created, as a more abstract or removed concept. [00:17:52] Justin brings up a previous podcast guest, Matt Asay from AWS, talking about Amazon working hand in hand with Redis and all these other open source companies, and he asks Nadia what she thinks about this. [00:22:03] Richard is curious to know what to do with projects that don’t have a charismatic leader where it hasn’t focused on who they are, which may have really good documentation. Is there any hope for any of those projects or they doomed to just continually wither and run out of steam? Nadia gives us the run down. [00:27:28] Richard wants to know what Nadia is doing at Sub Stack that is so interesting to her and following the research that you’ve learned from this book, why there? She tells us why she wrote the book. [00:32:37] Justin mentions a book he read called, Hate Inc. by Matt Taibbi, who has a Sub Stack thing. This is a great read! ☺ [00:35:08] Richard wants to know how Nadia can help people who write low-level software projects, who don’t have the power or the means or they are shy. What can we do to help those people? [00:38:22] Nadia tells us where you can find her on the internet, where you can find her book, and work. Spotlight [00:39:02] Gunner’s spotlight is Gosh science. [00:37:27] Justin’s spotlight is Nadia’s book, Working in Public (real world version). [00:39:30] Eric’s spotlight is also Nadia’s book, Working in Public and a quote from the book. [00:41:32] Richard’s spotlight is the concept of Antilibraries. [00:42:25] Nadia’s spotlight is Brendon Schlagel’s anti-library. Quotes [00:11:39] “I think what we’re seeing happen in all of this is we’re working toward building a shared vocabulary of the universe of this ecosystem, where each project is going to have its own arcane vocabulary over time.” [00:17:49] “Depending on who you talk to, the term open source just means so many things to different people.” Links Nadia Eghbal Website (https://nadiaeghbal.com/oss/) Nadia Eghbal Twitter (https://twitter.com/nayafia?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) Nadia Eghbal Linux Conf AU 2017- Consider the Maintainer (YouTube) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2AR1owg0ao) Working in Public: The Making and Maintenance of Open Source Software by Nadia Eghbal (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578675862/) Substack (https://substack.com/) Gathering for Open Science Hardware (GOSH) (http://openhardware.science/) Antilibraries (https://www.antilibrari.es/) Hate Inc: Why Today’s Media Makes Us Despise One Another by Matt Taibbi (https://www.amazon.com/Hate-Inc-Todays-Despise-Another/dp/1949017257) Credits Produced by Richard Littauer (https://www.burntfen.com) Rebase.fm (https://rebase.fm/) Edited by Paul M.

THANK YOU to the ultra-talented Vesperteen (Colin Rigsby) for letting us use his song (“Shatter in The Night”) as the intro and outtro for every episode of Design Speaks. [clear-line][clear-line] TRANSCRIPTION: [00:01] Hey guys, I'm Brandi Sea and [00:03] I'm Michelle and you're listening to episode 81 of Design Speaks. And on today's episode we will be talking with Mike McQuaid. Mike McQuaid, Mike McQuaid. Who is he? Who is he? So the Internet is a wonderful place and even more so for me, instagram is my favorite place on the Internet. It's kind of, I don't, I don't exactly know how I found him because you can't really track how you find people anymore. Rabbit trail. See? Yeah, it's like the wonder of the Internet. So, um, I did find him through instagram somehow. Um, he's, he, I kind of got attracted to his work because it looked, it looked like collagey collage. The Best I can say is collagey, but um, he creates really interesting in this interesting and um, concept driven work, which is something that all you guys know I love so much. [00:56] It's a good concept. Um, he does a lot of editorial work. He uses a lot of type imagery, um, illustration east style. He's worked with clients like the New Yorker, the Atlantic Fastco, the New York Times, Time magazine, variety, wired, Delta Airlines and Pentagram, and those that was like a less than a quarter of the people that would like on his list. I'm just like shaking my head because those are all such big names, huge names, and he's also been recognized by creative outlets like communication arts type kit, Gq style, how magazine design taxi, and again, a lot more so we have, we, we record these intros after usually we talk to them, but he's so humble. Yes. [01:45] He's super chill and really he's really a cool guy and I'm, I hope that you guys really enjoyed this interview. [01:55] Welcome to design. This lovely podcast is brought to you by a graphic design geek, music pop culture. Cool places. Basically whatever we feel is relevant. [02:13] Well, welcome Mike. [02:15] We're so glad that you're here. Thank you for joining us. Before we get like really into this conversation, can you tell us a little bit about yourself? [02:24] Sure. I'm a graphic artist, uh, currently living in Richmond, Virginia. Uh, I work on a broad array of projects, but a lot of people know me from my, like publication, illustration work and cover designs and things like that. So high concept kind of assemblage type stuff. I guess [02:49] assemblage, I liked that I was trying to figure out like, is collagey the right word? I don't think that's a word.
