"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.

The state of the open source ecosystem & how to fund away ‘software collapse’

@aurynn @arichtman Is there evidence for "apps generally perform considerably better and are nicer to use"? In my subjective perception, many apps that could just be websites, and that are often basically wrappers around a rendering engine (cross platform apps) only consume a lot of storage without considerable gain in usability. But they cause shorter #smartphone life times as the internal storages become to small for all wanted apps. #Sustainability #SoftwareSustainability
