Comments on: When the Worst Happens (OS Feels 2016) https://subfictional.com/when-the-worst-happens-os-feels-2016/ Personal blog for Christie Koehler. "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backward." Fri, 26 Aug 2016 18:07:05 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.2.3 By: Jeffrey Altman (@jaltman) https://subfictional.com/when-the-worst-happens-os-feels-2016/#comment-15143 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 23:06:22 +0000 https://subfictional.com/?p=768874#comment-15143 Thank you for sharing this part of yourself. As a long time open source contributor that has struggled to provide financial support and balance to my co-contributors the weaknesses of open source communities hit very close to home. If you give this talk in the future you might want to also mention that open source as a global public good, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_public_good, conveys zero economic incentive for end users (especially those that are focused on expensive reduction) to help support the physical and emotional well being of the producers.

Thank you for raising your voice.
