This week Steven has the pleasure of speaking with long-time open source geo
contributor Howard Butler about
foundational open source geo technologies GDAL and
PDAL. The discussion turns, as so often here on
the Geomob podcast, to the topic of open source sustainability. Howard comments
on various strategies and business models including "barn raising", and the
distinction between free software and free support.

Every week we discuss themes from the geo industry, interview Geomob speakers, and provide regular updates about our own projects.
