Open Source Sustainability Panel
2024-07-11 , South Hall 2B

The motivation behind this panel is to provide insights to the audience with regards to funding open source projects, manage the community interaction, and options people might find attractive in order to be paid while doing Open source.

We can also observe the sustainability of a project by the amount of contributors, even if it’s code or activities around it like conferences, communities, and NGOs that support the ecosystem.

Hi, I'm Samuel. I'm a Python and Rust developer from London.

I'm best known for creating Pydantic - a Python data validation library that has now morphed into a startup. Recently we released our first product: Pydantic Logfire, a new kind of observability platform based on the same principle as Pydantic — that powerful tools can still be easy to use.
