The Open Letter on Sustainable Stewardship: Why Responsible Open Source Matters

#1712262: The Open Letter on Sustainable Stewardship: Why Responsible Open Source Matters

Description:	The Open Letter on Sustainable Stewardship, co-signed by the Python Software Foundation, Rust Foundation, OpenJS, Ruby Central, and others, highlights a critical truth: current open source consumption patterns are unsustainable. In this webinar, Sonatype CTO and Maven Central steward Brian Fox joins leaders from the Rust, Eclipse, and OpenJS Foundations to explore why the status quo must change, what risks we face if it doesn’t, and how enterprises can take practical steps toward responsibility. You’ll Learn: The hidden costs of “free” infrastructure — from wasted bandwidth to slower builds. Why billion-dollar ecosystems cannot depend on unpaid weekends. How communities, enterprises, and governments can collaborate to keep open source strong for the next generation. Panelists: Brian Fox, Co-founder & CTO, Sonatype Rebecca Rumbul, Executive Director & CEO, Rust Foundation Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director, Eclipse Foundation Robin Ginn, Executive Director, OpenJS Foundation
