There and back again: Through the realms of open source software
summary
Hundreds of interviews inform a concrete roadmap: GitHub launches GitHub Sponsors integrated into developer workflows, and adds granular permission roles—triager and maintain—to reduce maintainer burden. The talk shows practical models: the All Contributors bot that opens PRs to add emoji-based credit in READMEs, Rasa’s Google Sheets contributor sheet acting as a CRM for outreach, and Clojurists Together which pools donations to fund three projects each quarter with several thousand dollars apiece and reports measurable improvements.
