Interviews with Open-Source Leaders

[peculiaruc]

Description: Feature interviews with prominent figures in the open-source community. The goal is to spotlight influential contributors, maintainers, and leaders who have made significant impacts on open-source projects. These interviews will provide valuable insights into their experiences, challenges, successes, and vision for the future of open-source software.

What You Can Do: Identify Key Figures in the Open-Source Community: Research and compile a list of influential people in the open-source ecosystem who would make great interview subjects. These could include:

• Project maintainers: Individuals who have led or maintained major open-source projects like Linux, Kubernetes, or Apache.
• Community leaders: People who have played key roles in fostering open-source communities or advocating for open-source principles.
• Thought leaders: Writers, speakers, or developers who actively shape the discussion on open-source trends, ethics, and technology.
• Notable organizations: Leaders from organizations such as the Linux Foundation, Mozilla, or Open Source Initiative.

Incorporate Visuals or Supporting Materials: If possible, include visuals such as headshots of the interviewees, screenshots from their projects, or video clips (if available).

@peculiaruc you have a typo on the samples link - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zMHxMU28yJeJSoiM_3ieQ5LCA6gVT-oOeJdpbYILjdQ/editt has an extra t at the end

Thank you for calling my attention to that. Do you mean at the end of the word "input!"? If yes, that is an exclamation mark not a 't'.
