In this special episode of Sustain, Richard has a discussion with guests and fellow hosts Eriol Fox, Abby Cabunoc Mayes,
Leslie Hawthorne, and Gunner, about the recent virtual Sustain event discussing the current state and

of AI on open source and the complexity of corporate funding, to the importance of succession planning and

topics ranging from usage metrics, donor programs, geopolitical barriers in FOSS, and details the working
sessions.
[00:03:34] Everyone shares their personal takeaway from the event.
[00:09:57] We hear about the conversations that were missed at the event and what everyone would like to
talk about in the future about sustaining open source.
[00:17:56] Gunner briefs us on the next event with a possibility of another forum focused entirely on AI,
and Richard proposes exploring digital sovereignty and how it intersects with open source principles.
[00:19:39] We end with final thoughts from everyone: Gunner expresses gratitude for the community, Abby is
grateful for the space and conversations, Leslie gives a shoutout to UN Open Source Week for fostering
global cooperation, Eriol praises Jonah Duckles for putting out “Ten Simple Rules for Academic Open Source
Collaborations with Industry,” and Richard encourages listeners to keep contributing and engaging with the
Sustain community.
