## Title (Working Title) The GitHub Problem ## Description Open Source may have "won" and OSS may practically be everywhere, but there is still a huge risk with open source being locked inside a proprietary platform (👋 GitHub). Recent events with other platforms (see Twitter, Reddit, etc.) show that the communities on these platforms are clearly **not** in control of them. And if open source is a public good, isn't it time we re-evaluated the risks around keeping OSS on a single, proprietary, platform ? In this talk, we will examine how open source foundations have tried to address this problem until today, where they have fallen short, and discover what new efforts are underway today to address this centralization problem. As we look towards the solutions that can help keep OSS truly ***open*** for the future generations of developers, we will deep dive in the distributed and peer-to-peer computing problems that make this challenge not only worthwhile - but also an interesting problem to solve!
