@jenniferplusplus I have a lot of thoughts I can’t get out this morning, because time, but the tldr is that Ostromian commons are communally maintained, but the median FOSS project is maintained by one person. So, yes, I’m all for working more on commons governance[1], but it is only tangentially relevant for most open source.

[1] For large projects you can’t pay anyone until the commons governance problems are solved, which is part of why we don’t do big projects very much at Tidelift.
