As we close out Apereo’s 2025 Microconference Series, we’re ending with a timely and foundational conversation—one that sits at the intersection of open infrastructure, academic missions, and the future of research.
On August 8, Ithaka S+R and the Apereo Foundation—supported by the National Science Foundation, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative—hosted a national workshop exploring a critical question:
How do we sustain open source software created within the research enterprise—long term, equitably, and at scale?
In this microconference, presenters Dylan Ruediger and Chelsea McCracken will share key findings and recommendations from the workshop, including what surprised participants, the challenges that remain, and the practical paths forward that are emerging for higher education.
Key Themes You’ll Explore
- Harnessing the overlap between the academic mission and OSS – Including student workforce development and viewing software as scholarship.
- Funding OSS as infrastructure – Sustainability requires a long-term commitment, thorough planning, and substantial investment.
- Strengthening systems of coordination – From on-campus leadership and cross-institution collaboration to community standards and mapping the software ecosystem.
What You’ll Take Away
-
A clearer understanding of what OSS sustainability means in the research context
-
Workshop-informed approaches to today’s biggest sustainability challenges
-
Practical recommendations you can connect to your own role—whether technical, administrative, instructional, or strategic
This is our final microconference of 2025—and a crucial conversation for anyone working with, funding, or relying on open source tools in research.
