We’ve just [published a report](https://sustainoss.org/assets/pdf/Sustain-In-2021-Event-Report.pdf) on what software sustainability means, covering marketing, governance, authentic participation by large corporations, design, and more. These conversations grew out of our [Working Groups](https://sustainoss.org/working-groups/), [our podcasts](https://sustainoss.org/podcasts/), and our last Sustain event in Brussels. We’re excited about this work, and hope you are too!

Thanks for this great work. One first detail: may be it would be interesting to mention Gratipay’s friendly fork, [https://liberapay.com/](https://liberapay.com/)

I just skimmed the Sustain 2021 report and wanted to congratulate everyone on this excellent document!

I’ll use it in my classes and point to it often because it takes a comprehensive stock of where open source is today and what the current challenges are.

**— Well done!**

Is there a place to report bugs in the report? Page 37 should have a background color for the “What’s next, and how can I help?” section.

Here is probably a fine place to report bugs. Just also report compliments or ongoing discussions. 😄

just dropping by to say thanks for the feedback folks. @Erioldoesdesign also created a conversation about other ways you’d like to see this report presented over in [Community feedback sessions: Sustain OSS 2020 conference report - #3 by Erioldoesdesign](https://discourse.sustainoss.org/t/community-feedback-sessions-sustain-oss-2020-conference-report/834/3)

If you can drop in there and share your thoughts it would be very much appreciated.
