🧭 What the Open Source Summit episode covers
According to the episode description, Rob and I talked about the open source community and Open Source Summit, the Linux Foundation’s conference. Also, other conversations from that year give context: I’d attended that May, and I came back thinking about how WordPress compares with projects where nearly every contributor is sponsored by an employer.
Also, more conversations like this one live in my podcast and speaking archive.
🗓️ Archival note
The SDM Show released this episode on July 17, 2023. Then I added this post on November 9, 2026. However, the only published notes are a one line description and no transcript exists, so this post doesn’t summarize what I said in the episode itself. So listen for the full conversation.
