Talk Announcement – “Sustaining Open Source Through Monetization” by Parker and Shannon Selbert

We are excited to announce that Parker and Shannon will be presenting together at our upcoming conference on the topic of “Sustaining Open Source Through Monetization”.

Maintaining complex open-source projects is a rewarding yet challenging endeavor. Open-source maintainers often face time constraints, demanding workloads, and the struggle to secure sustainable funding. To keep projects alive and prevent burnout, funding models are crucial for continued development and support.

In their talk, Parker and Shannon will share insights from their work on Oban, a background job framework within the Elixir ecosystem. They will discuss how they have successfully sustained Oban using an open-core business model, allowing them to continuously develop, offer support, and maintain the project since its inception.

They will also explore how other open-source projects can achieve lasting success by implementing thoughtful monetization strategies. If you’re involved in open-source development or interested in learning more about sustainable models for funding projects, this session is not to be missed!

Join us to discover how open-source projects can thrive and continue to innovate with the right approach to monetization.
