All this unpaid work has serious repurcussions on the people who make up OSS communities.
For example, OSS has *even fewer* women in it than the already appalling numbers of the wider tech industry.pic.twitter.com/kDNi0WDqt4
OSS is predominantly white men because it costs money and time, which white men have more of. Per @DRMacIver and me!pic.twitter.com/EsjtsyFuA1
And don’t just take it from those two white men. Why not ask @charlotteis or @jllord?pic.twitter.com/NcgKzYWR7u
And of course, because of what I said earlier about OSS helping you build rep, this disparity affects hiring.pic.twitter.com/otyqCSo8hx
The amazing @ashedryden makes this point most clearly, as she so often does.pic.twitter.com/uDaS9pkHqP
So how do we fund this invisible infrastructure? Especially in such a way that makes it both sustainable and accessible for everyone.
would love to point out the Core Infrastructure Initiative from the @linuxfoundation which is helping here https://www.coreinfrastructure.org
The reality is that the CII is targeted at the high end. You should read the paper for more discussion of this.
But basically, if you’re not big enough for CII, but you’re too big for other support, you’re in real trouble.
We as an industry have no support for medium-sized projects.
