Jan Ainali – FOSS behind the scenes - the center stage is not enough #FOSSBack

In this talk, Jan Ainali examines the implications of using proprietary platforms for open source software projects. He discusses how reliance on non-free tools undermines the core values of open source and poses challenges to project communities. The session encourages both new and experienced maintainers to critically evaluate their tool choices and consider the impact on inclusivity and resilience within the open source ecosystem. Ainali aims to inspire participants to advocate for community-owned alternatives and foster a more robust open source environment, regardless of the stage of their projects.
