This first episode of Distributed pod marks the start of something really cool - the sharing of some of the interesting conversations that happen in Web3 and surrounds.

Riccardo Iaconelli, guru of Open Source, kicks us off with a colourful and insightful telling of how the spirit of being open emerged, the forms it has taken and why there is clear value to being open - to society, to projects and to individual contributors.

We talk Open Source Archetypes and the importance of thinking carefully about your project goals, before you set and roll out an Open Source strategy.

And we talk about the love of crafting bespoke rope. This perhaps is the real highlight!
