Nithya Ruff is an expert on open source. As the head of AWS’s Open Source Program Office and the Chair of the Linux Foundation, she has a wide view on all things open source.
On this episode of CRAFTED., we discuss:

- How open source needs to evolve for the next generation of developers
- What an Open Source Program Office is — and why companies like AWS have them
- The questions, benefits, and risks that arise when a company is considering using open source technologies
- Why contributing to open source (“giving back”) is not always so selfless: relying on a successful, well-supported open source technology can be very advantageous to companies
- Why you need need to be deliberate when growing an open source project – just let it grow organically is not a great recipe for success today
- How open source draws on so many skills beyond coding, such as community management, marketing, and legal
- How open source is not just for software. Social change, agriculture, and other domains often use open source approaches
- Nithya’s path, and why she loves with open source
Key Moments:
- (02:20) - The state of open source today
