How To Be a Responsible Open Source Citizen
summary
Breaks down what actually matters: concrete project types (solo, single‑vendor, community, foundation), real tooling and programs like Adoptium aquavit testing, the Eclipse Tamarin runtime, Jakarta EE versions 10 and the work toward 11, and surprising scale facts such as about 10 active Apache Maven committers supporting millions of users. Flags practical risks—supply‑chain attacks, the Cyber Resilience Act and product‑liability changes—and gives actionable starts: translate docs, join project mailing lists or Slack, file small PRs, and ask employers to allocate time so contributions actually get made.
