Building Resilience: The Next Decade of Open Source
summary
Open source has become the internet’s backbone but now faces a resilience crisis: Log4Shell (late 2021) forces global regulators to act, many critical libraries are maintained by one or two people, and past incidents like Melissa, Heartbleed and SolarWinds show systemic risk. Economics matter — EU estimates €65–95B impact and a Harvard study puts supply‑side value at ~$4.15B — yet fixes are cultural and structural: create OSPOs, reward contribution, adopt upstream‑first workflows, join foundations, treat security as everyone's job to protect the open source ecosystem.
