This week on Don’t Forget to FOSS, I’m digging into how I got started in open source, what kept me involved, and how you can get started too with no coding required. I also break down different open license types, reflect on the culture of open initiatives, and share some thoughts on the sustainability of FOSS. Plus, I give updates on snac, Komo.do, and a new proposal to relicense PHP under BSD-3.
