  Thomas Depierre presenting the keynote “From Swords to Plowshares” at GUADEC, exploring the model of FOSS maintainership in society. “All maps are wrong, some are useful. It depends on what you are doing in the moment.” Similarly, all models are inherently wrong—they’re models, after all. But what is interesting is what they reveal and how they are used.

  With the current geopolitical landscape drawing more attention to the concerns around digital sovereignty, privacy, and dependence on big tech, it could have been our moment for FOSS on the desktop and mobile—but we weren’t ready.
