Podcasts about open source projects

In this On Location episode during OWASP AppSec Global 2025 in Barcelona, Starr Brown, Director of Open Source Projects and Programs at OWASP, unpacks the real engine behind the organization's impact: the projects and the people driving them forward.With over 130 active projects, OWASP continues to expand its open source contributions to improve software security across the board. While the OWASP Top 10 remains its most recognized initiative, Starr points out that it's just one among many. Other significant projects include the Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS), the Software Assurance Maturity Model (SAMM), and the increasingly popular security games like Cornucopia, which use gamification to bring security concepts into business conversations and development workflows.AI is playing an increasingly prominent role in OWASP's work. Starr highlights the GenAI Security Project as a focal point, encompassing tools and guidance for LLM use, agentic AI, red teaming, and more. The scale of community engagement is equally impressive: around 33,000 people are active on Slack, and hundreds contribute to individual initiatives, reflecting the organization's truly global and grassroots structure.Beyond tools and documentation, OWASP is influencing regulation and policy through initiatives like the AI Exchange and the Transparency Exchange. These projects connect with government entities and standards bodies such as the European Commission and CEN/CENELEC to help shape responsible governance frameworks around software, AI, and cybersecurity.Listeners also get a glimpse into what's ahead. From upcoming events in Washington, D.C., to the OWASP Community Room at DEF CON in Las Vegas, the goal is to keep fostering connections and hands-on engagement. These gatherings not only showcase flagship tools and frameworks but create space for open dialogue, prototyping, and collaboration—whether you're breaking things or building them.To get involved, Starr encourages exploring the OWASP Projects page and joining their Slack community. The conversation makes it clear: OWASP is not just a collection of tools—it's a living, breathing network of contributors shaping the future of secure software.GUEST: Starr Brown | Director of Open Source Projects and Programs at OWASP | https://www.linkedin.com/in/starr-brown-8837547/HOST: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | https://www.seanmartin.comSPONSORSManicode Security: https://itspm.ag/manicode-security-7q8iRESOURCESLearn more and catch more stories from OWASP AppSec Global 2025 Barcelona coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/owasp-global-appsec-barcelona-2025-application-security-event-coverage-in-catalunya-spainCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?

When open source projects shift to proprietary licensing, forks and new communities often emerge. Such was the case with MapLibre, born from Mapbox's 2020 decision to make its map rendering engine proprietary. In conjunction with All Things Open 2024, Seth Fitzsimmons, a principal engineer at AWS and Tarus Balog, principal technical strategist for open source at AWS shared that this engine, popular for its WebGL-powered vector maps and dynamic customization features, was essential for organizations like BMW, The New York Times, and Instacart. However, Mapbox's move disappointed its open-source user base by tying the upgraded Mapbox GL JS library to proprietary products.In response, three users forked the engine to create MapLibre, committing to modernizing and preserving its open-source ethos. Despite challenges—forking often struggles to sustain momentum—MapLibre has thrived, supported by contributors and corporate sponsors like AWS, Meta, and Microsoft. Notably, a community member transitioned the project from JavaScript to TypeScript over nine months, showcasing the dedication of unpaid contributors.Thanks to financial backing, MapLibre now employs maintainers, enabling it to reciprocate community efforts while fostering equality among participants. The project illustrates the resilience of open-source communities when proprietary shifts occur.Learn more from The New Stack about forking open source projects:Why Do Open Source Projects Fork?OpenSearch: How the Project Went From Fork to FoundationJoin our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

In this MOSE Short, Uriel Ofir, Ildiko and Phil touch on how important roles that go beyond code development, are to open source communities. Making the code work is the first step towards the success of a project, however, making it sustainable and long lasting takes much more than that!A project's success depends highly on the ecosystem around it, which includes users and contributors alike. To grow your ecosystem, you need people who create content to spread the word about your project. As your community starts to grow it needs people who can help managing processes and workflows for the most efficient collaboration.In this short segment Uriel highlights how important it is that people step up, work proactively and pick up tasks in areas from community management all the way to data science.

The conversation covers the evolution of engagement in open source communities, the impact of professionalization, and the challenges posed by AI in maintaining open source inclusivity. They also touch on the current trends of corporate involvement in open source. Press download now to hear more! [00:01:38] Ben mentions that he wrote his book to see his name on a cover but also explains the practical reasons for writing it, aiming to assist with the program management of open source projects. [00:04:42] Leslie mentions Karl Fogel's book and discusses how engagement with open source often starts with a technical interest but deepens due to human interactions within the community. [00:05:28] Ben shares his background in synpotic meteorology and how an unexpected opportunity led him to maintain software for weather data visualization, which paved his way into system administration and eventually open source. [00:10:43] Leslie and Ben discuss the evolution of participation in open source projects, noting changes in the community's structure, barriers to entry for newcomers, and the importance of fostering a respectful and inclusive environment for all contributors. [00:13:43] Leslie discusses the trend towards older participants in open source projects and attributes it to the professionalization of these projects and she expresses concerns about how the focus on AI development might limit open engagement in open source projects. [00:16:46] Ben remarks on the ease of using modern technology like Linux systems, contrasting it with earlier experiences that required more user involvement and customization. Leslie shares the potential benefits of AI, envisioning a future where technology adapts to individual needs, like assisting her visually impaired daughter. [00:23:07] Ben reflects on generational differences in technology use and stresses the importance of understanding the impact of our technological choices on future generations, especially concerning environmental sustainability. [00:27:24] Leslie brings up a question from Richard who was interested in hearing Ben's view on program management in open source projects, and how it differs from the role of a developer who manages projects. Ben explains that roles in open source differ from corporate roles as individuals often wear multiple hats, switching between developer, designer, and documenter tasks. [00:30:15] Leslie reflects on the challenges of task switching and the potential for burnout among open source maintainers, particularly those without corporate support. Ben suggests that open source maintainers allow newcomers to handle low-risk tasks to prevent burnout and maintain engagement. [00:34:21] Leslie shares the grief she hears from friends about the typical career progression for developers into management roles, which may not align with their passions, emphasizing the importance of finding fulfillment in one's tasks. [00:35:24] Ben discusses the challenging corporate attitudes towards open source as economic conditions shift. Leslie expresses dissatisfaction with how corporations have historically invested in open source communities, suggesting that even when funding was plentiful, investment was inadequate.

This week on The Business of Open Source I talked to Heather Meeker, General Partner of OSS Capital and author of From Project to Profit, How to Build a Business around your Open Source Project. We talked about some things that I entirely agree with, and then there were some points I challenged Heather on — all in all, it was fabulous conversation. Here's what we covered:Why you should think of your project and product as two different products so you avoid thinking of your open source project as a loss leader and get your incentives rightThe differences between supplementary and complementary products, and how the relationship between project and product is often complementary, even in situations where that relationship is non-obviousWe disagreed about pricing — should COSS businesses have cheaper products than closed-source companies? Why cares about your being open source? Are open source companies more capital efficient? Heather says so, but I'm not convinced. Heather also talked about how they select companies to invest inDo open source companies by definition do a better job at paying attention to user / customer demand? Check out the episode, and check out more about Heather Meeker here: Personal websiteOSS CapitalLinkedIn

Guest Mohammed Shah Panelist Richard Littauer Show Notes In this episode, host Richard engages in a conversation with guest Mohammed Shah about open source sustainability and the significant challenges faced by open source maintainers. Mohammed shares his background as a full-stack developer and discusses his involvement in a project aimed at reducing prediabetes risk using a WhatsApp chatbot. The discussion delves into the WhatsApp chatbot project, potential violations of WhatsApp's terms of service, and the unique license used. Mohammed recounts the distressing experience of receiving cease and desist letters, leading to his decision to step down as the project's maintainer. Richard and Mohammed explore the difficulties faced by open source maintainers and the need for collective representation, including the idea of forming an open source developer union. Mohammed also tells us about a climate-related initiative he's working on and a website he set up called CVE.Earth, for tracking corporate environmental destruction. Press download now to hear more! [00:01:03] Mohammed introduces himself as a full-stack developer and talks about his involvement in a project called Antler, aimed at reducing the risk of prediabetes in specific communities using a WhatsApp chatbot. [00:02:55] Mohammed explains the project, which involved creating a CLI tool that allows users to interact with their own WhatsApp accounts programmatically. [00:04:02] The discussion touches on the potential violation of WhatsApp terms of service and how many projects in the space could be in violation. [00:06:19] Richard asks about the license Mohammed used to put this code up. He explains the unique license he sued for the project, which allows for specific purposes but not for nefarious activities, and Richard mentions Mohammed's Hippocratic + Do Not Harm License. [00:07:35] Mohammed describes the distressing experience of receiving cease and desist letters which led him to step down as the project's maintainer. [00:09:27] Richard discusses the stress and challenges open source maintainers face when receiving cease and desist letters and the lack of resources to respond effectively. [0011:05] Mohammed shares that the project is on hold, and he cannot transfer it to others due to the legal risk. [00:12:24] We hear Mohammed's idea of forming an open source developer union to deal with unique legal cases affecting a small group of developers but with broader implications. This union could help address legal challenges and protect open source developers. He emphasizes the need for collective power in the open source community, like other worker unions or collectives that have the ability to advocate for the rights of their members. [00:13:58] Mohammed expresses that he wishes he had not put himself at risk with the project but defends open source work as a valid and important endeavor. He believes in the significance of open source work and its impact on a wide range of people. [00:15:22] The discussion delves into the role of large tech companies as gatekeepers and how they exert control over access to their APIs. Mohammed suggests that these companies should provide APIs as public infrastructure for interoperability. [00:17:54] Mohammed mentions a new project related to climate and corporate environmental responsibility that he's been working on, and a website he set up called CVE.Earth, for tracking corporate environmental destruction. [00:18:58] Find out where you can reach out to Mohammed on the web. Spotlight [00:19:46] Richard's spotlight is Tom ‘spot' Callaway, an awesome developer.

Today's guest is Kelsey Hightower, a distinguished engineer and developer advocate at Google and speaker known for his work with Kubernetes, open source software and cloud computing.As a curious and motivated self-learner, Kelsey dropped out of College and taught himself the skills required to start his career as an independent contractor for BellSouth – a telecoms company in Atlanta helping the community to get online. From there, Kelsey set up his own business – an electronics store before becoming involved in the open source world, working at New Relic, CoreOS, Puppet Labs, and most recently at Google.A self-taught developer, Kelsey's work on Kubernetes and at Google, from which he just retired, is well-known* so I wanted to focus our conversation on his life - how he got into tech, his love of learning, what drives him, what it means to be hopeful and the one piece of advice he would offer a younger Kelsey.I know I am not meant to have favourites – these conversations are like children - but I have to say this is up there with one of my most loved conversations. I learned so much from Kelsey and I think you will too.Enjoy!Kelsey on TwitterDanielle Twitter / Instagram / NewsletterPhoto of Kelsey is part of the Faces of Open Source Project by Peter Adams*If you want to learn more about Kelsey's work history, give this episode  from Ardan Labs a listen.

On this episode of WPwatercooler titled EP468 – UncURLing WordPress 6.4, hosts Jason Tucker, Sé Reed, Jason Cosper, and Scott Kingsley Clark discuss the recent release of WordPress 6.4 and its implications. The conversation begins with a light-hearted introduction and quickly dives into the complexities and challenges surrounding the new update. Sé Reed shares her experience as a first-time release lead, highlighting the social, community, leadership, and technological implications of the update. The panel delves into a critical issue that arose with the release, specifically concerning the ‘Requests' library used by WordPress. A change in this library led to significant performance issues for certain hosting configurations, impacting many sites. The discussion emphasizes the inherent challenges in testing every possible configuration in a diverse ecosystem like WordPress. The episode also touches on the broader issues of open-source funding and maintenance. The panelists highlight the underfunding of critical libraries and tools that form the backbone of WordPress and many other systems. They argue that the lack of attention and funding towards these essential components poses a risk to the stability and security of the wider web infrastructure. The conversation extends to the governance and funding of PHP, the underlying programming language of WordPress, and the broader open-source ecosystem. The hosts discuss the need for more proactive support and funding from companies and individuals who benefit from these open-source resources. The episode concludes with a discussion on the new WPwatercooler community initiative called “Aftercooler,” designed to foster further discussions and interactions within the WPwatercooler community on our Discord.
