Fave keynote, especially hearing how Christina Koch handles being the only woman in a room of 10 engineers. 🚀“What we do as astronauts is chair fly a situation…identify and then strategize.” She’s so cool. And she surfs, too! ✨
Throwback Thursday: Christina Koch is taking off 🚀 and will be the first woman to journey around the moon. In 2020, she spoke at OpenJS World about what life is like in outer space as an international crew member of the ISS, and being a female in STEM. Recap here: https://bit.ly/4smsjsQ

Burnout Is Real for Open Source Maintainers: A Conversation with John-David Dalton, Lodash Creator
YouTube video by OpenJS Foundation

Lodash gets 100M+ downloads a day. For years, it was maintained by one person: John-David Dalton Then life happened. He stepped back. Open source isn’t just code. It’s people. Read about our conversation about burnout with John-David here: https://bit.ly/3NWa92P
"Open source dependencies should be treated as part of the security perimeter, the systems you are responsible for securing, even if you don’t control them." - @rginn206.bsky.social
"The biggest supply-chain risk isn’t abandoned code. It’s unsupported ecosystems." At RSAC 2026, @rginn206.bsky.social outlined a consistent pattern across ecosystems: when maintainer capacity does not scale with dependency usage, security risk increases. Read more on the blog: bit.ly/3PzHKA0

On the shoulders of giants. Mikeal was a friend and constant spark for good. I’ll miss his voice, his heart, and his drive to make things better. ❤️
So cool to be in the room at React Conf when the new React Foundation was announced 💙 with its new home at the Linux Foundation. At @openjsf.org we’re celebrating this big win for JavaScript communities.
New Era for React = Stronger JavaScript Ecosystem 💙 React doesn’t live in isolation - It works alongside Node.js, Electron, webpack, and more. A dedicated foundation under the Linux Foundation means more collaboration, security, and sustainability across the ecosystem. hubs.la/Q03MylxX0
Open source foundations don’t run on “magic piles of money.” Registries, CDNs, CI pipelines, security response and compliance work all require sustained support. Read why OpenJS joined peers in signing “Open Infrastructure is Not Free.” 🔗 hubs.la/Q03KtFgr0

Mikeal was an expert collaborator. When we would discuss something, he'd throw out an "impossible idea" and then talk himself into a path by working with a few of the right people. And then he'd set off and do it. Mikeal was a force that defied Newton's 3rd law. He will be missed by many.
We’re deeply saddened to mark the passing of Mikeal Rogers after a courageous fight with cancer. Mikeal wasn’t just a leader in the open source world. He was a connector, a builder of community, and someone who showed up for others in meaningful ways. Thank you, Mikeal 💚 hubs.la/Q03s_C7G0
