Feathercast at FOSS Backstage

This week I am at FOSS Backstage, in Berlin. It’s a conference about what goes on behind the scenes in open source – issues of governance, licences and other legal stuff, community management, mentoring, and so on. Once a project gets beyond a few people, these issues start coming up.

As was observed in this morning’s keynote, this doesn’t feel like a first-time conference, but rather like something that’s been running smoothly for a while. I’m very impressed with the event.

I have been doing interviews for Feathercast this week, and have, so far, 13 interviews captured. So this is going to take a time to edit and publish. They’ll be on the Apache Software Foundation YouTube channel, as well as on the Feathercast site.

I’ve been talking to speakers from the event, and, since all of the sessions are being videoed, I’m trying not to simply reproduce their talk, but get some information about the project, organization, or concept that they were presenting. I hope you like what I’ve done.
