Hi everyone,

I hope you enjoyed the new design launched in issue 24. I am also pleased to announce that we have exceeded the 100 subscribers to this newsletter, 103 to be exact. Welcome to new subscribers :-)

Last week I listened to Tobie Langel at the Geneva web meetup speaking about open source sustainability, and yesterday, the Vice magazine published a post from Daniel Oberhaus on the same subject "The Internet Was Built on the Free Labor of Open Source Developers. Is That Sustainable?"

I am pleased to see that an awareness of this problem is emerging in the media. Indeed open source is everywhere, in our mobile, in our car, in Bank, Hospital ... and nobody seems to care about its web developers sustainability.
