New nonprofit for research on OSS just launched! [https://stewardshiplab.org/](https://stewardshiplab.org/) From long-time sustainers Mike McQuaid, Andrew Nesbitt, Dawn Foster, Vlad-Stefan Harbuz, Miranda Heath, and Daniel Roe and Patak from npmx. Worth keeping an eye on (and funding?!)

We coincided the launch with a podcast about it. 🙂 [Sustain Episode 292: Vlad-Stefan Harbuz: Launching the Software Stewardship Lab](https://podcast.sustainoss.org/292)
