Talk Topic: Building a Thriving Community: The Software Freedom Conservancy's Approach to Sustaining an Engaged Community.
Join us for an interview with Karen Sandler, Executive Director of Software Freedom Conservancy and Lecturer-in-Law at Columbia Law School. Karen will introduce us to SFC, her work, and FOSSY.
We'll explore SFC's approach to community building and delve into their "Sustainers" program. Karen will explain what Sustainers are and the benefits for both SFC and members. She'll share insights on engaging Sustainers and lessons learned from growing the program.
Learn about SFC's practices in cultivating this supportive community and how you can become a Sustainer yourself.
This discussion promises valuable insights into community support for free and open-source software, drawn from Karen's extensive experience in the field.
