episode 27: AI Policies, OSS Maintenance and EU Open Source Academy with Daniel Stenberg.


This episode features a deep and pragmatic conversation with Daniel Stenberg, founder of cURL and president of the European Open Source Academy, reflecting on FOSDEM 2026, the growing role of open source in European policy, and what digital sovereignty means in practice; Daniel shares the motivation behind the EU funded Open Source Academy, discusses how maintainers are dealing with the rise of AI generated security reports, explains why cURL shut down its bug bounty program, and offers a balanced view on where LLM tools genuinely help in code review and security research versus where they create noise, all while highlighting the long term realities of maintaining critical infrastructure software for decades.
