Cloud Native & Coffee presents biweekly conversations with cloud native infrastructure and application experts from across the community and around the world.
In this episode, we speak with Christofer Dutz, founder and maintainer of Apache PLC4X - who recently announced that because corporations weren't paying for support, he would be ceasing to provide community support free of charge - about the state of the open source ecosystem and what he feels needs to be done to continue its prosperity.
If you'd like to follow along with the disucssion, check out our supplemental blog from this episode: https://www.mirantis.com/blog/open-source-is-it-reaching-a-breaking-point-recording/
As mentioned by Eric, this (RCN #49) will be the final episode of Radio Cloud Native (in it's current format).
Please keep the podcast in your feed and keep an eye out for fresh content. Sometime early in this new year, the team at Mirantis is planning to revamp Radio Cloud Native (possibly under a new name, but accessible from this same RSS feed).
Thank you to all of our listeners that kept Radio Cloud Native going over the past two-or-so years. And a special thanks as well as good luck to long-time host Eric Gregory as he pursues future endeavors outside of Mirantis. Stay tuned for more podcasts from Mirantis in 2024!
