Littauer Show Notes Hello and welcome to Sustain! Today, Richard’s
live at FOSS Backstage 2023 in Berlin, and on this episode, he’s
joined by two guests. His first guest is Omotola Eunice Omotayo,
who works as a community manager and organizer for Outreachy, which
is a fellowship under Software Freedom Conservancy. She gave a talk
about “Contributor engagement and monetization opportunities” at
the event. They discuss the number of applications Outreachy
received, the number of interns, and how she manages to keep up
with social media and meetings with each intern. Finally, we learn
about the HUGE open source community in Africa and OSCA. Richard’s
next guest is Jan Ainali, who’s here to discuss a card game.
Seriously! The Governance Game is a card game designed to encourage
discussion about governance in open-source code bases. The game was
created by publiccode.net, which helps public organizations
collaborate on developing software for public purposes. The game
includes starting states, bugs, and scenarios that are based on
calamities observed in the real world. Jan also talks about the
Foundation for Public Code, what they do, and how they are funded.
