37: Salt on Resilience in FOSS

Wm Salt Hale joins us to talk about his dissertation on resilience in FOSS communities (especially after crisis events), the kind of impacts founder decisions can have on long-term community development, especially as seen through reactions to software vulnerabilities and license decisions.

Also! Salt mentions that we're keynoting at SeaGL this weekend! It's an online conference, so maybe we'll see you there!
