264: In recent years, the very definition of open source has been subject to scrutiny and reinterpretation. Where once open source projects were largely managed and maintained by individuals or small groups for passion or as a hobby, today, they are at the forefront of business, technology, and innovation.

In this episode, Darin and Viktor reflect on how the adoption and demand for open-source software have evolved.

They have become critical to business and societal functions. This shift raises a pivotal question. How do we, as a community, sustain and support the growth and maintenance of these projects.
