What do you think are the primary challenges for Open Source the coming years?
Security? CRA? Financing? Maintainer burnout? Recruiting young developers? Adapting to a country-former-ally going nuts? AI slop? AI bot overload? Something else?
(I'd like some more food for thoughts for an upcoming talk)
yes, I think the infrastructure must be strengthened, which boils down to finances.
Maybe Microsoft and Android (alphabet) does not play nice and think that open source is getting to strong, so maybe they try to push it down, just a thought.
Another aspect is accessibility, maybe linux improves on that.
And how will OpenSource cope with the AI stuff, some influence is to be expected?
And what about the legal aspects. Rights are being curtailed everywhere. What impact does this have on OpenSource community. e.g. Cryptographically sophisticated software could be affected by that. But maybe some people who had previously done considerable work will also be missing from the community (and if it's just because of demographic change...).
Resilient and robust infrastructure certainly can't hurt in stormy times. Enough money for unexpected events certainly won't be a bad idea either.
