Show notes

Ryan is joined on the show by Cult.Repo producers Emma Tracey and Josiah Mcgarvie to discuss making documentaries about open-source software and the people behind the major technologies that uphold the internet. They explore why open-source projects and the people who maintain them are such interesting stories for audiences, how being outsiders has helped them tell these community stories, and what they see as the common stressors that plague all open-source projects, such as sustainability, compensation, and burnout. 

Episode notes: 

Cult.Repo produces documentaries and shorts about the human stories behind open-source technology. Check out their filmography on their YouTube channel.
