A FOSS foundation is meant to be a steward for an ecosystem and all the players in it. It's a vehicle used to convene, make decisions, and allocate resources. And they're only as effective as they are trusted.

The European Commission has issued a survey on the Governance and Sustainability of Critical Open Source Software.
The survey hopes to identify "pathways for collective efforts" and make "actionable recommendations for public administrations".
It's a relatively short survey, takes max 15 minutes & provides lots of opportunities to rate FOSS as 'very important' 😛

"Leave it clean(er) than you found it" requires remembering how you found it, requires being observant before you started changing things, requires attentive #mindfulness
Thinking more and more about the interaction between #governance and state of mind. It clearly has an impact: a bunch of rules can be avoided.
