Ask HN: Succession Planning in Libre/FOSS

1 pointsby horeszkoover 1 year ago
Hi HN,<p>What is the future of Libre&#x2F;FOSS after heavy weights like Torvalds, Stallman etc. retire?<p>I care a lot about libre&#x2F;FOSS and I&#x27;m wondering what happens after such important figures retire? How do we as a community keep it going?<p>Sorry if this is an old question, I&#x27;m relatively new to Libre&#x2F;FOSS

For Linus, I suggest looking for some forum posts for &quot;what if Linus gets hit by a bus?&quot; questions. And for RMS, he states on his website[1] that working on GNU would be his long-term committment.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stallman.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stallman.org&#x2F;</a>
