Salesforce engineering interviewed me, Jacob Kaplan Moss (co-creator Django), and Carol Willing (Member of the Steering Council for Python) about each project's type of governance, how we make changes, and how governance affects our communities.
From the 'Accidental Maintainer' series by Salesforce Engineering. In this blog post, I share my experience with writing and maintaining two open source tools. I also share some of the strategies I've used for building a community around these tools, which are now staples in OSS tooling for AWS security.
