Next
up,
we
have
jeff
strauss
with
us
who's
going
to
talk
through
our
questions,
as
he
has
put
his
hat
in
the
ring.
B
No
see,
I
know
I
don't
think,
we've
talked
since,
probably
since
ever
on
the
sun
closed
off.
B
B
Great
stuff
from
jerome-
I
don't
actually
know
him.
That
was
pretty
cool.
He's
got
a
great
story,
great
background.
It's
pretty
neat.
I
need
to
get
to
know
him.
That's
cool.
B
A
That's
great
all
right!
Well
I'll
kick
off
with
questions.
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
why
you're
running
to
be
part
of
the.net
foundation
board.
B
Yeah
sure
you
know
I,
I
love
the
things
the
foundation
does,
and
you
know
we
know
each
other
a
little
bit,
and
you
know
the
the
community
is
a
huge
thing
for
me.
I've
been
spending
the
last
10
plus
years,
really
deeply
involved
in
develop
community,
not
only
not
only
speaking
but
running
events,
mentoring,
speakers,
mentoring,
organizers,
helping
grow
communities.
B
You
know
here
where
I
live
in
in
st
louis
and
in
the
midwestern
region,
the
united
states,
but
also
all
over
the
world,
and-
and
I
think
the
foundation
does
some
really
good
things
around
the
open
source
community
and
around
helping
keep
the.net
community
and
and
ecosystem
around
it
healthy
and
and
provide
some
continuity.
B
But
I
think
there's
so
many
more
things
that
we
could
be
doing
well
as
an
organization
not
only
from
the
standpoint
of
helping
existing
libraries
in
the
ecosystem,
but
also
making
sure
that
that
maybe
lesser-known
developers
and
communities
find
out
about
us,
maybe
the
authors
of
libraries
who
don't
realize
that
they
have
support
in
the
community
around
them
to
back
them
up
whether
in.net
or
even
in
dot-net
friendly.
You
know
like,
like
jerome,
was
saying
he's
not
really
a
dot-net
guy
by
by
trade,
but
that's
important
too.
B
We
can
support
the
javascript
community
and
and
and
jam
stack
stuff
and
all
that
and-
and
I
think
it's
important
to
help
get
the
word
out
there
and
because
of
my
connection
communities,
I
want
to
do
that.
The
other
thing
is,
I
think,
and
I've
been
having
some
conversations
with
people.
I
guess
over
the
last
I
don't
know
really
year
or
more
around
the
interaction
between
the
foundation
and
industry,
right,
not
just
open
source
developers,
but
businesses,
large
and
small,
because
open
source
is
something
that
impacts
everybody
again.
B
You
know,
as
jerome
was
just
saying
you.
Know.Net
is
largely
open
source.
More
and
more
of
it
every
day
and
and
large
organizations
are
using
open
source
software,
but
they
don't
necessarily
know
what
that
means
or
how
to
use
it
well,
how
to
contribute
to
it,
how
to
feel
confident
being
engaged
in
the
open
source,
ecosystem
and
community.
I
think
there's
a
lot
that
we
could
do
to
engage
industry
and
to
make
sure
that
that
organizations
know
how
to
interact
with
the
developer
community
in
a
healthy
way.
A
That's
great,
that's
great.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
your
background
with
the
net
foundation
in
general.
B
Sure
so
I've
been
involved,
for
I
don't
know
a
couple
of
years
with
the
foundation
itself,
not
not
super
heavily.
It
actually
kind
of
all
started
on
a.
I
was
on
a
trip
at
an
event:
oh
gosh,
two.
Yes,
two
and
a
half
years
ago
it
was
when
john
galloway
was
still
the
executive
director
before
before
claire
took,
took
the
reins,
and
we
were
together
at
this
event
and
we
ended
up
spending
a
day
together,
we
were
in
in
bulgaria
of.
B
But
we
kind
of,
but
we
ended
up
spending
a
day
together,
walking
around.
We
did
this
big
food
tour,
just
kind
of
walking
the
streets
where
it
was
like
a
really
cool
food,
free
food
tour
thing
to
learn
about
culture
and
everything
else,
and
over
the
course
today.
Not
only
did
we
talk
about
food,
but
we
we
spent
some
time
talking
about
the
community
and
about
what
what
he
was
trying
to
do
with
the
foundation
and
what
he
was
trying
to
do
around
open
source
stuff,
and
we
talked
a
bit.
B
None
of
this
is
legal,
but
exactly
right,
so
right,
so
we
were
talking
about
licenses
and
how
to
give
better
information
to
developers
hope
to
make
better
choices
and
help
them
make
sure
that
they
were
protected,
but
also
they
knew
how
to
share
with
the
community
in
a
proper
way,
and
we
had
a
few
follow-up
conversations
over
over
time
and
then
he
encouraged
me
to
join
the
foundation
which
I
did
and
I've
had
a
good
number
of
conversations
with
various
members
and
member
or
people
who
who
support
open
source
as
part
of
the
foundation
over
the
years
and
then
of
course,
debra
on
the
sun
was
the
probably
the
largest
thing
I've
done
in
connection
with
the
foundation
along
with
you
and
claire
and
a
bunch
of
other
great
people,
just
just
this
past
spring
during
the
whole
kobit.
A
Yeah,
that
makes
sense.
That's
great.
Can
you
talk
about
your
contributions
to
the
net
community
in
general?
I
know
you've
done
more
around
conferences.
B
Sure
yeah
I
mean
I
so
despite
my
past
as
an
attorney
I
I
am
a
developer
and
a
and
a
cloud
architect
null
by
by
trade
during
during
the
my
day
job
I
work
for
a
company
here
in
st
louis
called
worldwide
technology,
so
I
do
dev
stuff
and
I've
made
some
contributions
directly
to
open
source
over
time.
But
really,
my,
like
you
said
my
big
interaction
with
with
not
only
the
net
community,
but
the
developer
community
in
general
has
been
around
events.
B
I'm
I'm
on
the
board
of
directors
for
kcdc
the
kansas
city
developers
conference.
I
have
been
on
the
board
with
along
with
john
mills,
lee
brandon
boone
lee
for
the
last
four
or
so
years.
Before
that
I
helped
run
an
event
that
was
called.
That's
called
devops
that
used
to
be
the
st
louis
days
of
dot-net
here
for
about
seven
years,
I'm
involved
in
running
a
thing
called
metaconference,
which
is
a
like
a
think
tank
where
we
bring
together
organizers
on
six
content
continents.
B
Together,
we
have
like
a
little
we
used.
We
started
it
out
in
connection
with
the
mvp
summit
up
in
redmond,
but
now
we're
trying
to
do
it
more
online
and
bring
organizers
together
to
help
grow
everybody
and
let
everybody
collaborate
so
that
we
make
everyone's
communities
and
and
events
better.
I
run
a
couple
of
slack
organizations
and
then
well
in
the
dev
around
the
sun,
more
recently,
which
hopefully
will
repeat,
although
hopefully
it
won't
still
be
recovered
and
we'll
have
something.
B
The
community
stuff,
all
around
is
really
it's
really
the
name
of
the
game.
For
me,.
A
Yeah,
that's
great,
that's
awesome.
Can
you
talk
about
the
experience
you
have
that
lends
itself
specifically
to
being
on
the
board?
Maybe
some
more
legal
experience
or.
B
Yeah
sure
so
so
to
the
to
the
point
of
the
two
major
things
that
I
really
want
to
be
involved
in
and
and
the
the
impact
I
want
to
have
in
connection
with
the
foundation
of
being
on
the
board,
is
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
use
my
experience
as
a
community
organizer
and
leader
to
help
the
foundation
help
all
of
us
get
together
and
do
more
to
bring
communities
up
and
then
right.
B
My
my
legal
background
is
not
just
you
know,
I'm
not
a
practicing
lawyer
today
anyway,
but
but
I
do
spend
a
lot
of
time
speaking
at
events
and
teaching
people
and
mentoring,
people
around
open
source
software
around
intellectual
property,
I've
even
spent
some
time,
even
though
it's
not
my
day
job.
B
I
I've
spent
time
working
with
general
counsel
at
my
own
company
and
other
and
other
organizations
helping
them
to
understand
those
things
I'm
talking
about
where
I
want
to
get
see
the
foundation
get
involved
in
industry
and
see
us
get
involved
with
executives
and
leaders
and
help
them
become
better
stewards
of
the
open
source
community
from
from
a
business
perspective.
B
I
do
that
already
today.
In
a
lot
of
respects-
and
so
so
I
just
want
to
bring
that
to
the
foundation
and
lend
the
credibility
of
our
organization
to
you
know
to
to
help
to
help
grow.
It.
B
I
try
to
be.
I
try
to
try
to
be
without
giving
you
know.
I
try
to
not
be
prescriptive
about
it
right,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
to
understand
the
distinctions
and
the
differences,
and
you
know
it's
it's
so
often
you
go.
You
create
like
a
new
repo
and
get
up
and
says
which
license.
Do
you
want
and
there's
some
guidance
and
help?
And
you
pick
one
and
that's
it,
but
I
think
a
lot
of
times.
B
It's
really
permissive
and
it's
easy
or
they
pick
apache,
because
someone
told
them
to
you
know,
but
I
don't
know
how
many,
how
many
people
really
spend
the
time
day
in
and
day
out,
developers
found
the
time
to
think
about
that.
Certainly
the
developers
who
consume
the
open
source,
who
are
always
in
a
race
to
just
sort
of
go
and
solve
problems
as
quickly
as
they
can,
and
so
they
search
in
google.
They
find
the
first
thing
that
solves
their
problem.
B
They
click
go,
they
accept,
you
know
they
the
terms
and
conditions
great
and
they
move,
and
maybe
that
wasn't
the
best
idea
and
and
so
the
more
we
can
educate
people
around,
that
the
fewer
issues
we'll
have
seeing
open
source
being
used
in
industry
and
in
the
enterprise,
which
means
the
more
it'll
be
adopted,
because
when
you
don't
have
negative
outcomes
of
people
using
open
source,
then
you
can
have
more
and
more
companies
and
more
and
more
organizations
willing
to
use
it
more
freely.
More
comfortably.
A
Yeah,
that
makes
sense.
I've
been
in
too
many
meetings
about
licenses
in
the
past
couple
weeks,
but
it
sounds
like
it
sounds
like
you'd,
be
helpful,
yeah!
Okay!
Next
up,
if
you
could
classic
question,
if
you
could
pick
the
superpower
of
being
invisible
or
flying.
B
B
Why
well
a
couple
things
for
whatever
reason
I
mean
being
invisible,
seems
like
it'd
be
cool,
but
it
also
seems
a
little
treaty
to
me
but
flying
I
grew
up,
I'm
not
a
pilot,
but
my
my
father
is
not
a
commercial
pilot
he's
like
a
general
aviation
pilot,
and
it
was
a
thing
that
he
chose
to
do
when
I
was
very
young,
so
we'd
have
something
kind
of
unique
and
special
to
do
like
a
father-son,
I'm
first
born
and
so
yeah.
B
I
I
don't
want
to
ever
have
to
the
the
risk
or
the
expensive
flying.
But
if
I
could
just
swing
like
wet,
you
know
wave
my
arms
around
the
sky,
it's
beautiful
up
there,
you
get.
You
get
a
sense
of
perspective
when
you're
up
in
the
sky,
looking
down
at
the
earth
that
you
don't
get
anywhere
else
and
yeah,
I
wouldn't
trade
that
for
anything
flying
hands
down.
A
A
Okay,
great
so
head
over
to
dotnetfoundation.org
to
find
out
more
about
the
interviews
of
other
candidates
as
well
as
see.
