Community Office Hours: The Business & Survival of Open Source

Starting an open-source project is the easy part, sustaining it long-term without maintainer burnout or licensing traps is where most fail.

Tomorrow, we’re joined by Emily Omier - host of The Business of Open Source podcast and organizer of the Open Source Founders Summit - to break down how OSS projects actually survive in commercial environments.

What we're diving into:
• Monetization & Licensing: Navigating open-source business models without alienating your community.
• Maintainer Survival: Managing governance, avoiding burnout, and handling feature pressure.
• Growth & Adoption: README "dos and don'ts", getting first contributors, and startup advice for OSS founders.
