Tabitha Diaminico from G Research sits down with Stacey Potter, Manager of Community at the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF), to explore what makes open source communities thrive.

Discover the practical strategies for welcoming new contributors, the surprising parallels between marketing and community building, and why people are truly the heart of open source.
Whether you're a seasoned maintainer looking to grow your project, a developer considering your first contribution, or simply curious about the open source security landscape, you'll hear actionable insights on creating psychological safety in communities, the importance of good documentation, and exciting initiatives like OpenSSF's upcoming ambassador program.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
