I encourage you to come to my intimate, inclusive (yeah we still care a lot about that), conference Monki Gras in London March 27th/28th. It’s about sustaining software craft in uncertain times. Expect interesting OSS maintainer talks, personal journeys and pragmatic takes on adoption of AI. The show is set to be a banger.

In the era of the open source rug pull, the role of open source foundations is more important than ever. The “rug pull” here refers to companies that have used open source as a distribution mechanism, building a community and user base, before changing the license to be restricted, rather than truly open source. “This is capitalism, yo. We’ve got shareholders to satisfy. It’s time to relicense that software, move to a Business Source license.”. Why does open source even matter?
