Open Source projects are more and more often victims of their own success. Those responsible for the packages end up spending thousands of hours a year maintaining and supporting packages that have somehow gotten into the global infrastructure we use to build our products and services.

Absolutely free, and usually only with outrage as the open source world's salary. It is not sustainable. Not in the long run.
This is a massive challenge, across both companies and national borders. We as developers are definitely in a position where we can contribute, but what is really the right way to do it? How can we ensure the Open Source culture with contributions? How can we make it sustainable? These are questions I will try to answer!
