I will forever love talking with @emckean.bsky.social about anything and everything, and the reason for that is right here on @opensourcestories.org for you to enjoy.

#OpenSource #TaylorSwift #ExtremelyAccurateHedgehogs

For Open Source Stories I loved talking with @juliasilge.com about her journey in open source, from solving problems she had to now working on large general purpose solutions & her perspective on what it means to build open source and be a human being on the internet.

It was such a pleasure to join @tracykteal.bsky.social to chat about how I first started out in #OpenSource and what I feel like I’ve learned since then.

When @juliasilge.com first participated in #OpenSource, she did it to solve a specific problem. She didn't know that she would be joining a community and changing her perspective for years to come. Learn about her journey and hear her words of wisdom.

If #OpenSource had a Taylor Swift-esque Eras Tour, what would they look like? Are hedgehogs actually extremely accurate? What does the sun feel like? Come on a fantastical journey with Erin McKean, filled with joy, laughter, and deep philosophical musings.

The tidyverse has a rich history, which you can hear about in this conversation between Hadley Wickham and Tracy Teal. Learn about Hadley's early influences as well as how he has kept focus throughout the development of tidydata, tidyr, and more!

I am going to use the hell out of the phrase "critical human infrastructure" (crediting Duane, of course) because we don't prioritize the humans in open source nearly enough.

Open source is people and people are open source. Join our conversation with Duane O'Brien about supporting, connecting with, and caring for the critical human infrastructure of open source.
