Just imagine when you walk into an open forest without a compass.” [00:21:07] “It can be hard to translate your greatness you have within you, if they're not seeing you speak visually.” [00:22:45] “As a brand designer, I see myself as a value maker, as an innovator.” Spotlight [00:33:02] Django's spotlight is two mentors, Ruth Ikegah and Eriol Fox.

She is also the Founder of Leadingbit Solutions. We find out why Silona was a taker, not a maker, when she first got into open source, how she went from writing code to working on policy, how she ended up at IEEE, and what SA OPEN does. She reveals her long-term vision for IEEE and open source, how she feels about standards using her Reese's Peanut Butter Cups metaphor, working on certifications, and she shares her thoughts on where she thinks we will be down the road in the distant future in terms of badges and certification for open source. Go ahead and download this episode to learn much more from Silona! [00:01:30] Silona tells us how she was a taker, not a maker, when she first got into open source.

She also mentions that IEEE recruits from engineering schools all over the world to get their members.

Quotes [00:09:59] “You can pull the data back out, but can you pull the community back out of GitHub?” [00:13:36] “But, I really do love the not doing the corporate dominance aspect, and the trying to achieve the balance pieces I think is really important when you're creating a standard, especially if you want true adoptability.” [00:14:27] “My favorite little metaphor now is chocolate and peanut butter. You put your peanut butter in my chocolate. Oh, you put your chocolate in my peanut butter. And then you've got the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.” [00:23:29] “It's hard to teach non-profits to become a software company.” Spotlight [00:35:08] Richard's spotlight is Tom “Spot” Callaway, Episode #52 on Sustain Podcast where he was a guest, and listening about his adventure in Canada.

Guest Ewa Jodlowska, Rachel Lawson, Leah Silen, Ben Nickolls, Jory Burson, and Karen Sandler Panelists Duane O'Brien and Richard Littauer Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! The podcast where we talk about sustaining open source for the long haul. Today, we're doing something a little different with this episode. We are giving you the audio recording of a round table that was recently hosted by Duane O'Brien and Richard Littauer, about the role of foundations in open source. Our panelists today are Ewa Jodlowska, Rachel Lawson, Leah Silen, Ben Nickolls, Jory Burson, and Karen Sandler. We'll spend time talking about foundations and associations in general, the kinds of things they do, the kinds of legal structures that they may have, and how they differ from each other. They explain about the work they've done for their projects and some services that they offer. And then we'll spend time talking about projects, when projects might think about reaching out to organizations, or when maintainers might think about bringing their projects to organizations. So, take a listen and enjoy! Go ahead and download this episode now! [00:00:40] Duane starts off with a quick overview of the conversations they'll be talking about. [00:01:36] Everyone gives a brief introduction of themselves, who they're representing, and what their organization does. [00:06:42] Duane asks the panelists for their responses to: What is a foundation, what isn't a foundation, and what are some of the differences between the types of organizations that you have. [00:10:58] Speaking on behalf of the Python Software Foundation, Ewa talks about what kinds of things they do for projects and we learn from Leah what fiscal sponsorship means. [00:13:07] Duane asks if there is anyone for whom their organization and their view of fiscal sponsorship is significantly different from what the others have described. Jory, Ben, and Karen share some things. [00:17:34] Duane asks the panelists to discuss about the times that their organizations have helped solve another kind of problem or member projects or for projects that later became members. And, when have they been able to step in and intervene on behalf of the project? [00:27:45] Find out what kinds of things the panelists look for from projects that apply to be a part of your organization and when do they think they're ready to come in. [00:31:56] For the maintainers of projects who are in charge of their project and are thinking it might be or wondering if it's time to start reaching out to foundations, Duane asks the panelists for some key indicators that they might look for that it's probably time to tag in some bigger help than they've had to date. [00:32:54] Richard brings up a question that was in the chat about mailing lists and why is mailing list important when considering whether you're going to take on a project into your foundation. [00:34:45] A question that was sent to Richard personally and not in the chat was, why do we think there are so many women in this space? [00:36:20] The next chat question Richard asks was, can everyone agree that most open source software foundation's purpose is not to support the public interest, but instead to support the interest of the members? [00:39:33] The panelists tell us what they are most excited about that might be coming up for them and what they want to plug on behalf of their organization.

Sponsored By: Panelists Justin Dorfman | Allen “Gunner” Gunn | Richard Littauer Guest Rachel Lawson Drupal Association Show Notes In this episode, we have Rachel Lawson, from the U.K., who is the Community Liaison for Drupal Association. She is going to tell you all about the Drupal Association, what role she plays, and what she does. Since DrupalCon has been canceled due to COVID-19, there are some major things going on with sponsors that are still contributing money, the founder of Drupal making an unbelievable donation, as well as some other campaigns and match donations happening! [00:01:08] Rachel explains about working with Drupal in the U.K. and also talks about how many people are using Drupal to power their websites. [00:02:50] Justin has noticed that Drupal has a very big adoption within government, and he wonders why is that? Is it a security thing? Rachel answers this. [00:04:14] Rachel tells us how Drupal gets paid as an open source product. She also talks about what’s been going on since DrupalCon has been canceled in May. [00:10:37] There is a list of sponsors that are still contributing money to Drupal, despite the event being canceled, and a HUGE SHOUT OUT is necessary to them, so please see the list below! ☺ [00:012:01] The Founder of Drupal, Dries Buytaert, made an unbelievable donation and Rachel talks about what it was and how it affected everything. It is AMAZING!! There have been some other match donations mentioned as well. [00:16:16] Governance is brought up by Gunner and he wants to know the civilian’s version of how governance at Drupal works and how the decision-making works that others could learn from and Rachel explains. [00:23:00] Rachel explains her role with Drupal and what she does. [00:25:00] How does someone join the Drupal open source community and how does Drupal capture all the contributors, not just the Devs? Rachel explains. Spotlight [00:33:01] Justin’s spotlight is The Ruby Blend Podcast-Episode 9. Listen to it! [00:33:49] Gunner has two spotlights: Qubes OS and Subgraph OS and the Tails Project (tails.boum.org). [00:34:39] Richard’s spotlight is the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation). [00:35:33] Rachel has two spotlights: A pub in Leeds, Yorkshire where she was attending a Drupal event. It made her reflect back to being there before and how much it changed her life. Also, OS FEST in Lagos, Nigeria, that she recently attended. It was a huge experience for her and truly incredible. Quotes [00:20:54] “We’ve been going through a process at Drupal association about raising money and we have a campaign on at the moment called Drupal cares (#DrupalCares) and you will notice there is quite a lot going on with that.” [00:23:33] “If just downloading Drupal or downloading any open source projects isn’t enough, you need the services around it, the support around it, regular security updates so where you can work on new code and have thousands and thousands of thousands of continuous integration tests run every time you say, “Hey, I propose that we do this new thing in Drupal!” [00:25:18] “Do you want to give a shout out to those sponsors that have done that because that warmed my heart! You know, the sponsors that said, keep our money, we believe in the project, we know we won’t get any real value out of the event not being alive. Please, give them some props.” (They are listed below.)
