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 this 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.

In this session, you’ll:

• Get a pulse on the current state of open source sustainability, and insight on where the community is headed.
• Hear stories from leading maintainers in the open source community about their personal successes and challenges with sustainability.
• Learn how a blended approach to funding open source can be a model for your own company.
• Get the latest news coming out of these projects, and how you can get involved.

We’re excited to share their stories with you. Register today.
