He’s actually right handed, he did all this and just flipped the video. Brilliant! His wedding ring is on his “right” hand instead of his left. 😂

You are making it look boring and to complicated when in reality its not. If you want to explain to people what is open source software you first need to explain what is source code. And is it realy that hard to explain. No its not. So explain people what is source code and than it will be easy to explain what is open source. No need for 6 minute video after which people still wont understand a thing.

misleading title. it causes wondering how it is that someone would give away all his work for no reward, and actively help being exploited. But the title of this video would be "history of open source software".

Hi. Can you tell me why developers would like free access to commercial grade source code and the ability to extend that code? What benefit would they get? And ‘extend’ means to improve or contribute to the code, yeah?

Contributor focus!

None of what he said means much... it might just be the mechanics of a few big projects... the real goods is the legal stuff with the licensing agreements...

1) repo - basically a platform which makes it easier for both the contributor and the maintainer 2) contributor - the guy who changes the code 3) PRs - pull request; the thing which contributors send to make their changes 4) committer - evaluates the PRs + implement it if good 5) foundation - when a project becomes too big, it is named a foundation 6) lawyer/os license - the set of rules which state how the code can be distributed, used, modified n stuff - most commonly used = GPL (general public license): it guarantees 4 freedoms (freedom to run, study, share and modify) 7) village/community - when a project becomes somewhat big, then the contributors, committers etc collectively are known as the community *how do i start? --> just do some bug fixes

open source is controlled by big tech, they sponsor what they need, open source devs give away their work for free to big companies
