Following the recent discovery of the log4j bug,
a wide-spread security vulnerability, the tech community once again
grapples with the issue of reliance on and maintenance of core technology
that is largely maintained by unpaid volunteers. In this episode
Steven chats with
Andrea Aime and
Ian Turton, both long-time open
source developers working on widely-used geospatial technologies. The three
discuss the challenges of motivation, maintenance, setting expectations, and
sutainable community. A timely discussion for anyone contributing to or
relying upon open source technologies.
The Geomob podcast is hosted by
Ed Freyfogle, co-founder of
OpenCage,
and
Steven Feldman,
of
KnowWhere Consulting.
We discuss themes from the geo industry, interview Geomob speakers, and
provide regular updates about our own projects. We publish a new episode every week.
