Hey y’all,

Myself, Emmy Tsang, and Mateusz Kuzak have co-authored a blog that includes a short section on the academic open source session we had at the Brussels summit. The content is pretty innocuous (no names mentioned), but in the spirit of the sharing rules discussed on the day we thought it would be fairer to share the post with y’all for a few days before going ahead and posting it publicly.

The 4th section is the sustain-specific one: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g4-VfbIFIB9mnRfuyxhV3qAQ0DyBy1MhFTF8UklCzr0/edit#heading=h.720n3c5td09](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g4-VfbIFIB9mnRfuyxhV3qAQ0DyBy1MhFTF8UklCzr0/edit#heading=h.720n3c5td09)

Please feel free to comment if anyone feels like anything should be changed or shouldn’t be shared in the sustain section - we’ll submit to [software.ac.uk](http://software.ac.uk) for publication this weekend if we don’t hear any further.

Thanks folks!

@yoyehudi,

Thanks for sharing. Great article!

I made several suggestions free for you to accept or discard.

May I suggest to also email the CHAOSS mailing list?

Best,  
Georg

Hey @yoyehudi, this is an awesome summary. 🙌

I’m quoting an excerpt from the Google Doc:

> [@yoyehudi](#):
>
> We agreed that the most interesting follow up from this session would be a compilation of examples of the exemplar projects that address software sustainability from the start, and some templates on how to pitch the importance of software sustainability to the funders to raise their awareness.

To this end, I’d like to plug the [RIT LibreCorps](https://fossrit.github.io/librecorps/) initiative, which is an academic initiative at the Rochester Institute of Technology that teaches sustainable open source to non-profits / humanitarian orgs working to build communities around their software projects. This [Opensource.com](http://Opensource.com) article is a good explainer of the work being done there:

> **[LibreCorps mentors humanitarian startups on how to run the open source way](https://opensource.com/article/19/12/humanitarian-startups-open-source)**
>
> Free and open source software are no longer workplace taboos, at least not in the same way they were fifteen years ago.

As someone who has come up in open source from LibreCorps, I think it is a great example of empowering younger folks to get involved in the wider open source movement and incubates new leaders with experience in sustainable open source.

I know the evaluation rubric and milestone roadmaps are familiar to eLife Innovation. 😄 These were created by students through the LibreCorps initiative:
