NFL scout has bold thoughts on Raiders' Aidan O'Connell
The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t draft a quarterback, which means they will be going into next season with Aidan O’Connell as their starter under center. Of course, O’Connell may face some competition in camp and preseason, as the Raiders signed Gardner Minshew in free agency, but barring an injury or an unexpected turn of events, O’Connell will almost certainly be Las Vegas’ QB1 heading into 2024. An NFL scout tells the NFL Analysis Network what he expects from O’Connell, and his outlo…

Open source sustainability questions
As a user, sponsor and supporter of various open source projects, I find that I am again thinking about the financial sustainability of these projects. The benefits of projects like Mastodon are undeniable and a joy to many people, myself included. But have we found a sustainable financial model that supports on-going development and longevity of open source projects? I would be interested in other people's thoughts about this.
Linux seems to have found a sustainable model through the Linux Foundation. Canonical provides commercial level support for Ubuntu Linux. I suspect they are sustained by paid optional technical support agreements. I know that OpenSSL struggled for some time before finding some corporate sponsors and they also do consulting projects.
However, I’ve watched a number of decent open source solutions gradually drift into the hands of commercial operators or become more limited through licensing. Java, MySQL, Vault and MongoDB initially come to mind. To me many current open source projects seem at risk for this.
I am interested in thoughts about open source sustainability, and examples that you might add to my limited list. I will summarize the results on this in a later post. Also, please feel free to share links to other sources that discuss this question.
I would appreciate a boost if you are so inclined.
