It Takes a Village: Open Source Software Sustainability
A Deeper Look at the Facets of OSS Sustainability
Are you working with, developing or hoping to participate in an open source program? Would you like to learn more about why some programs seem more successful than others, why some
live on grants while some achieve community sustainability, and what other programs can teach us? In 2017, IMLS funded LYRASIS to assess how open source software programs serving cultural and scientific heritage organizations attain long-term sustainability.
This series is based on the resulting work: It Takes a Village: Open Source Software Sustainability - Guidebook
for Programs Serving Cultural and Scientific Heritage.
This series of classes enables participants to dig into the various facets of sustainability including Governance, Community Engagement, Technology, and Resources. Each webinar will
focus on one of the four facets developed in the ITAV OSS Guidebook and provide opportunity for discussion with speakers and other participations. Find more information on the series at
