At #39c3, @quintessence presents an analysis of “crisis events” in FOSS foundations over ~30 years. Data shows a stark trend correlated to growth of social media and lowered social barriers to access to project leadership from the public, and asks —

After the xz-utils event, should we adapt our community openness and moderation techniques to counteract the growth of crisis events, and can we create shared guidance to support our mods?

How to keep Open Source open without leaving our communities open to threats 39C3

The Four Freedoms (defined ~40 years ago) and the Four Opens (~15 years ago) for Open Source provided canonical definitions for what are the cornerstones of Open Source Software communities today. While the ethos still applies today, the cultural norms that blossomed to put it into practice are from an era with different challenges. To build a better world, we need to both keep and protect the value system of the Four Freedoms and Four Opens. To do that, we need to re-assess our risk and threat models to balance that allows beautiful minds to flourish as well as introduce responsible friction to prevent harm from coming to them.
