"Roads and Bridges: The Unseen Labor behind Our Digital Infrastructure"

[Harnum, Alan]

I thought this was interesting enough to share here – a long report (sponsored by the Ford Foundation) on the challenges of reliance on volunteer-maintained open source (software, repositories and otherwise) as functional infrastructure for our current world.

Haven't read it all, but good so far.
