A Tasty Strudel Recipe for Sustainable Open-Source Ecosystems

Sprache: English

Abstract

Just as a strudel requires the perfect balance of flaky pastry and sweet filling, creating a sustainable open-source ecosystem requires whisking together a harmonious blend of ingredients. In this talk, I will take you on a culinary journey through some of my group’s research using social science theories and data science methods to discover the ingredients for a thriving and sustainable open-source ecosystem. I’ll knead the dough of big data, sprinkle the cinnamon of collaboration, and fold in the apples of innovation. So, put on your aprons, preheat your curiosity, and get ready to savor a mouthwatering talk that will leave you hungry for more knowledge about sustainable open-source ecosystems. Bon appétit!
