Who Will Maintain Open Source’s Future?

In this episode of ConversingLabs, host Paul Roberts interviews Abigail Cabunoc Mayes, who is responsible for Open Source Maintainer Programs at GitHub – the world’s leading development platform – about the uncertainty of open source’s future. This uncertainty is caused by a steady decline in Gen Z maintainers, which presents a major software supply chain security risk. Abigail will explain how in order to welcome and retain young maintainers, the OSS community must understand the perspectives of Gen Z, and ensure their needs are met. She will also walk through actions that the community can immediately take to address this growing uncertainty.Read Abigail's blog post on the topic here: https://github.blog/open-source/maintainers/who-will-maintain-the-future-rethinking-open-source-leadership-for-a-new-generation/
