Open Source

Yes, Open Source Is Sustainable

Two months ago, we announced our annual investment in open source maintainers, mostly folks whose work we depend on to deliver Sentry to you, plus a few research and hobby projects that our employees put on our radar. Two days ago, six of these maintainers joined us for a one-hour panel called “The Future of Open Source: Is It Sustainable?” I co-hosted with Jessica Lord, Product Manager of GitHub Sponsors.

Log4j gets added to the code "wall of shame."

It seems that every few weeks, we are alerted to a new significant security issue within one of the plethoras of code elements that are widely used. The same pundits discuss the same range of concerns with open-sourced code each time. The list of “usual suspects” is long, and I know I could add at least 20 additional “reasons” to this list without thinking about it too hard. I’m not sure that open-sourced code is riskier than proprietary developed code. There I said it.

The Future of Open Source: Is it Sustainable?

Open Source projects are at the heart of most software that we depend on everyday. Community-supported volunteers work behind the scenes to make open source better for everyone, but it can be a thankless—and penny-pinching—job. Is it sustainable? Join us in a live virtual event with GitHub Sponsors to find out. We’ll showcase leading maintainers in the community and discuss the future of open source sustainability.
