À propos de ce contenu audio

 This podcast takes an honest and unvarnished look at the reality of contributing to open source software projects. Too often, the open source community can paint an idealized picture of seamless collaboration and frictionless progress. But the truth is, working on OSS projects can be challenging, messy, and at times, downright frustrating. From conflicting opinions and coding philosophies to project politics and ownership disputes, there are many potential pitfalls. That's why this podcast gives voice to the personal experiences of actual open source contributors and influencers. They'll share the unfiltered ups and downs they've faced working on real projects. You'll hear war stories of coding battles, community dramas, and those weekly agonizing pull request reviews. But it's not all horror stories! You'll also learn valuable lessons about persevering through challenges, building consensus, and ultimately creating robust open source software that delivers value. Guests will provide insights into cultivating positive OSS communities and effective collaboration processes. So whether you're a veteran open source participant or just getting started, this podcast will prepare you for the gritty realities and help you navigate the unusual situations that so often arise. Join us as we embrace the awkward, frustrating, and yes, even "gross" side of open source software development. It's a journey that every contributor needs to understand.© 2025 G-Research Open Source Software Economie Science

    • Security and Resilience From OpenStack to the White House with Æva Black

      Security and Resilience From OpenStack to the White House with Æva Black
      Jan 15 2026
      We sit down with Æva Black as she shares her journey from creating OpenStack Ironic to leading security policy at Microsoft and CISA. Discussion covers the economics of competing with hyperscalers, Europe's Cyber Resilience Act, managing software dependency complexity, AI's impact on security (including the rise of "vibe hackers"), and a powerful story about how a casual conference conversation led to influencing White House cybersecurity strategy.

    • Community Governance and Building Sustainable Open Source with Dr. Dawn Foster

      Community Governance and Building Sustainable Open Source with Dr. Dawn Foster
      Dec 9 2025
      In this episode of the G Research Open Source Software Outreach Podcast (GROSS OUT), host Jay Faulkner sits down with Dr. Dawn Foster, Director of Data Science at the CHAOSS Project and veteran open source consultant, to explore the hidden infrastructure that keeps open source communities thriving. Dawn shares her 30-year journey through the open source world, from compiling dependencies as a sysadmin in the '90s to earning a PhD studying collaboration in the Linux kernel. The conversation dives deep into the metrics and governance structures that separate sustainable projects from those destined to fail—including the critical "lottery factor" (what happens when the most important person in your project disappears) and why you should build governance before you need it.

    • Memory Safety and Modernizing Python's Cryptography Ecosystem with Alex Gaynor

      Memory Safety and Modernizing Python's Cryptography Ecosystem with Alex Gaynor
      Nov 13 2025
      Alex Gaynor, long-time open source contributor and core developer of Django, PyPy, and Python's cryptography library, joins us to discuss the challenging transition from C to Rust in the Python ecosystem. We explore memory safety vulnerabilities like buffer overflows, the technical and community challenges of introducing Rust to a major Python library, and how to navigate hostile feedback during controversial changes. Alex shares lessons from shipping the first Rust-based cryptography release, managing platform compatibility issues, and why sometimes breaking backwards compatibility is necessary to move an ecosystem forward. A must-listen for anyone maintaining critical open source infrastructure or dealing with the "gross" realities of pushing technological boundaries. https://cryptography.io/en/latest/ For a video version of this podcast, check out https://youtu.be/FQayBHWVsQA.
