"Something that I was told early on in open source, that I sometimes forget," said Porter Lead Maintainer Sarah🦎 Christoff in her interview with Open at Intel's Katherine Druckman, "is that you just need to show up. So as much as I was striving at coding, worrying about my project's health around features, and responding to the community, I was doing that pretty much solo. And because of that, that created that isolation factor. No one knew about it because I was spending a hundred percent of my energy on the project and not building the community. Once I started going to TAGs, to SIGs…when you go to Kubernetes Days, and even your local Gopher meetup, or whatever your local meetup is…once I started getting out there, I started making those connections. That's when I could ask, can you help me? What do you think about this?"
In this episode of the Open at Intel podcast, Defense Unicorns' Sarah Christoff, who is also lead maintainer of the open source project Porter, talks about the challenges of being an open source maintainer, the importance of community, Porter, Zarf, rescuing animals, and how as an open source community we are more powerful together.
