Essential talk on a critical topic by @quintessence

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

https://cfp.cccv.de/39c3/talk/YDKJDT/

Should be mandatory material for all open source community leadership: near-collapse and collapse crises in our communities have dramatically increased, you're not alone, sensible approaches to moderation are key, and there's a lot of work ahead to share practices on how we keep our communities secure. But we can make it, together!

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.
