GitHub's slopocalypse made the open membership model untenable, but the cracks were older than that. I was the only roadie for the entire run and never managed to fix that.

@jezdez @jazzband this post you linked to, looks like an llm bot posted it: https://byteiota.com/open-source-maintainer-crisis-60-unpaid-burnout-hits-44/ (see the bottom for its own seo summary) and I don’t believe there are 300m companies on GitHub

@jezdez @jazzband Thank you for all your work! Everything you wrote makes sense to me, and highlights just how much more progress needs to be made for us to find sustainable ways to do Open Source.

@jezdez @jazzband thank you for everything you've done and continue to do for our communities Jannis! Jazzband was one of the ways I got into open source in the first place 🎷

@jezdez thanks for starting and continuing @jazzband for so long. I've really enjoyed the interesting conversations it's inspired over the years about how to handle under-maintained open source projects.

@jezdez @jazzband Thank you, that was a good read — a gracious, thorough sendoff for an important project. It all makes sense. The roster of projects is amazing, the legacy is secure.

Hey @jezdez thanks for creating @jazzband and for showing to the community an alternative way to sharing responsibility. It has been a great success. 💪

@jezdez @jazzband Thank you for everything you did with Jazzband. It *was* important work, and continues to be; but the work didn’t *have* to be done by you, and a graceful handover is a fitting way to end a grand project. *This* gig may have ended, but that doesn’t mean we stop playing music. I’ll keep wearing my tour shirt and remember the great shows along the way.

@jezdez As a complete outsider I assumed there was a big team so well done for keeping it going so well for so long! It was such a good thing.

@jezdez @jazzband 💜 What an incredible run! Very few things last a decade, I hope after the dust has settled you can celebrate this accomplishment.
