#ResearchSoftware #SoftwareSustainability

"Durable open-source success lies in longevity, not novelty. Forks like Fluxnova show how community-driven governance and licensing choices shape sustainable software. #OpenSourceLongevity #MaintenanceMinds #CommunityStewardship #LicensingMatters #SoftwareSustainability"

In our latest article, we share learning from @curioss members on the value of building #OpenSource practices into funding proposals.

Key learning:

🔹Funders value transparent, reproducible research. Open source multiplies impact.
🔹#AcademicOSPOs utilize their broad internal and external networks to enhance grant success.
🔹Their expertise in all aspects of open source development and #SoftwareSustainability creates the opportunity to maximize research outcomes.
