Source Design. [00:16:12] Richard brings up wishing there was more

this podcast. [00:23:40] We hear from everyone on how they see the
impact that this podcast has made on open source sustainability,
and if they think we can measure open source sustainability. Quotes
[00:15:24] “I really do think that the time for design as a topic
within open source has never been more rich, involved, and
interesting because of the amount of designers understanding what
open source is in all of its different flavors and varieties. And,
wanting to participate in new ways or old ways or different ways
and doing a lot of really interesting stuff lately. So, I really do
think it’s really a special time for designers in open source from
what I can tell.” Spotlight [00:32:37] Gunner’s spotlight is
