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!
