SUMMARY:MS4H - Pathways for Sustaining Long-Term Open Source Projects in S
 ocietal Interest
DESCRIPTION:Some of the most critical software and data infrastructure the
  world relies on is maintained by open source communities. This includes O
 Ss like GNU/Linux, networking tools, software libraries, HPC tools, compil
 ers, data analytics packages, among many others. In open data, we have for
  example the archives of meticulously recorded weather data across contine
 nts and time eras. The fact that these foundational building blocks are fr
 eely available as a public good enables a vast range possibilities for the
  society. Public infrastructure, small and large businesses alike, and res
 earch are powered by these projects. This minisymposium will feature diffe
 rent approaches to sustaining open source, open research and open data pro
 jects for public or societal interest in the long term. It will feature th
 ree talks from very different kinds of organizations to cover a multitude 
 of approaches, from bottom-up alliances between projects, to governmental 
 investment to institutional support. It will conclude with a moderated pan
 el with the three speakers and possibly more to dive deeper into the chall
 enges. Audiences will get to share their inputs and this minisymposium wil
 l hopefully open a constructive dialogue between actors in the open source
  space, researchers, institutions, decision makers among many others.\n\nC
