Open Source Leadership with Vicky Brasseur

from GR-OSS OUT Podcast · host G-Research Open Source Software

You can't fire a volunteer. So how do you lead one? Vicky Brasseur — author, OSS strategist, and "open source minister without portfolio" — joins Jay Faulkner on the GROSS Out Podcast to discuss wielding influence without authority: ethical manipulation, director-ready business cases, and the succession planning most projects ignore until it's too late. Plus, Vicky's unflinching take on how the LLM boom is damaging open source — flooding maintainers with low-quality PRs, gutting mentorship, and burning resources without accountability. No fluff. Just the long game. G-Research is hiring in Dallas, TX and London, UK! Apply at https://gresearch.com/vacancies. For a video version of this podcast, check out https://youtu.be/CEp-I7st02A. The GR-OSS OUT Podcast is produced by Ben Wiley.
